About this Scholarship
The Abel Visiting Scholar Program 2026 supports mathematicians from developing countries, including India, to spend a month conducting research with an international collaborator. It is designed as a short‑term research sabbatical for early‑career post‑doctoral scholars who are working toward or have recently completed a PhD. The grant covers a one‑month visit; if the stay is longer, applicants must show that the host institution will fund the additional living costs.
The aim is to provide focused research time that complements teaching and other academic duties, helping scholars maintain an active research programme.
Eligibility Criteria
Applicants must be Indian nationals or residents who are professional mathematicians based in a developing country, currently enrolled in a PhD program or having recently completed a PhD, and at the early stage of a post‑doctoral career. There are no explicit income or academic score requirements. Candidates need a willing host institution abroad that can supervise the proposed research visit.
How to Apply
Visit the official page at https://www.mathunion.org/cdc/grants/research-travel-grants/abel-visiting-scholar-program and read the detailed guidelines. Identify an international host researcher and obtain a formal invitation letter. Prepare a curriculum vitae, a concise research proposal, and a brief budget outline.
Register on the application portal (if required), upload all documents, and submit the complete application before the deadline of 2024-04-30. Retain copies of all submitted materials for future reference.
