The E.Th.o.S.

The Center is a vibrant and dynamic research environment and gathers experts from the philosophy of science, logic, moral philosophy, psychology, neurosciences, the history of science, and computer science.

The Marie Skłodowska-Curie Action is a funding scheme that supports researchers’ mobility. Postdoctoral Fellowships may last 24-36 months, involving a research project, advanced training, and knowledge exchange at the host institution. More information about how to apply can be found here: https://www.univr.it/en/marie-curie-fellowship

Two types of fellowships are available:

- European Fellowships: They are open to researchers of any nationality and country who decide to come to the University of Verona for 12-24 months.
- Global Fellowships: They are open to researchers of European nationality or long-term residents in Europe. The fellowship foresees a period of 12-24 months in an extra-European institution and a period of 12 months back at the University of Verona.
