Abel Visiting Scholar Program 2025

The Abel Visiting Scholar Program offers post-doctoral mathematicians from developing countries a one-month, fully funded research visit to collaborate with international researchers. The program is funded by the Abel Prize and administered by the Commission for Developing Countries (CDC) of the International Mathematical Union (IMU). It enables scholars to pursue research sabbaticals, develop collaborations, and gain exposure to a global mathematical community.

Fully funded travel, accommodation, basic living cost stipend, visa fees, travel insurance, and local transport as described in the program guidelines.

Candidates must be based in a developing country at the time of application, hold a PhD, be affiliated with a university or research institution, not be a full-time professional, be an early professional (not more than 35 years old at the deadline, with possible age relaxation for career breaks), have started research contact with international partners, and women's mathematicians are particularly encouraged.

Apply via the online application portal, include a research proposal and a list of collaborating researchers, and submit supporting documents as specified.
