IAS Luxembourg-Warwick Postdoctoral Exchange Programme (PEP)
About PEP
The University of Luxembourg is a relatively recent institution (established 2003) joining together the majority of existing higher education institutions in the country.
Luxembourg joined Warwick in the Guild of European Research-Intensive Universities in 2025. Our Institutes of Advanced Study (IAS) signed a Memorandum of Understanding in September 2025, which underpins a new call to support postdoctoral exchange.
The Luxembourg-Warwick Exchange Programme (PEP) aims to provide opportunities for postdoctoral researchers to work in international and interdisciplinary environments to establish new connections with other academics.
IAS continues to offer funded support for wider activity, including IAS Visiting Fellowships that can be used to support academic researcher mobility with European partners.
Key Dates
The Institutes of Advanced Study (IAS) is expected to run another funding call in Autumn 2026. Dates to be confirmed later this year.
