2026/02 - BOF INCOMING MOBILITY
Research
Funding organisation:
Bijzonder OnderzoeksFonds
What?
The BOF programme for incoming mobility funds incoming international academic research stays for a short period of time (from 1 to 3 months). The stay can take place in 2026 and start from March 2026 onwards. The incoming international mobility programme is open for academic researchers from postdoctoral level upwards. The stay of a foreign researcher at our university should have an added value for the UHasselt research.
In certain regions, there is a concern about the involvement of research institutions and universities in human rights violations. Hasselt University urges its staff to exercise particular caution when collaborating with partners from regions listed on this page.
