Enrico Fermi Fellowships

The Enrico Fermi Fellowships aim to address the growing specialization that separates theoretical from experimental training, particularly in physics, making it rare to find scientists with a deep understanding of both areas. Inspired by Enrico Fermi, who excelled in both theoretical and experimental domains, the fellowships target top-level graduate students interested in fundamental scientific questions and eager to work on both theoretical and experimental aspects. The project seeks to offer students generous financial support to broaden their horizons through theory and experiments cross-training. The EFF is open to top students globally, promoting a broad and diverse participation. The EFF is a five-year project comprising at least three cohorts of students. Fellows receive financial support for salary, travel allowance, and research funds for supervisors, along with mentoring and convening activities to support professional development.
