The European Association of Environmental and Resource Economists (EAERE) has opened applications for its 2027 Visiting Programme, which provides financial support to researchers undertaking an international research visit at a university or research institute abroad.
The programme is designed to support academic mobility and research collaboration in environmental and resource economics. Successful applicants will receive gross financial support of EUR 3,000 for a research visit lasting between three months and one year.
The visiting period must begin in 2027, allowing selected researchers to undertake research, collaborate with academic supervisors and gain experience in an international research environment.
EAERE Visiting Programme Benefits
The EAERE Visiting Programme provides successful candidates with EUR 3,000 gross financial support. The funding is paid in three instalments throughout the visiting period.
The first instalment is paid during the month before the research visit begins. The second instalment is released following submission and approval of a brief mid-term progress report co-signed by the supervising tutor.
The final instalment is paid after submission and approval of a brief final report, which must also be co-signed by the supervising tutor.
The programme can therefore help eligible PhD students and early-career researchers offset some of the costs associated with undertaking research abroad.
Who Can Apply?
The programme is open to EAERE members who remain members throughout the application process and visiting period.
Applicants must fall into one of two categories:
- Current PhD students.
- Postdoctoral researchers who completed their doctoral degree within the previous two years.
The research visit must take place at a university or research institute abroad, and the proposed visit must commence during 2027.
EAERE states that applications will primarily be assessed according to the quality of the proposed research programme.
When applications are otherwise equal, priority will be given to candidates from developing countries or candidates whose proposed visiting period will take place in a developing country.
Required Application Documents
Applicants are expected to prepare several documents demonstrating their academic background, research plans and arrangements with the proposed host institution.
The application must include:
- A Curriculum Vitae (CV).
- A two-page description of the research programme to be undertaken during the visiting period.
- A letter of acceptance from the host university or research institute.
The host acceptance letter must identify the proposed supervising tutor, specify the duration of the visit, and confirm that the research stay will begin in 2027.
A clear and well-developed research programme is particularly important because the quality of the proposed research is the primary selection consideration.
Application Deadline
Applications for the EAERE Visiting Programme 2027 must be submitted by:
Deadline: 31 October 2026
EAERE expects the selection process to be completed in November 2026, while successful applicants will be notified of the outcome in December 2026.
Applicants should ensure that all required documents are prepared before submitting the application and should allow sufficient time to secure the required acceptance letter from the proposed host institution.
How to Apply
Eligible candidates should complete the EAERE Visiting Programme 2027 application form and submit the required supporting documentation before the deadline.
Applicants should also ensure that they meet the EAERE membership requirement at the time of application and throughout the proposed visiting period.
The proposed research visit should demonstrate a clear academic purpose, realistic research activities and a suitable relationship with the selected host institution and supervising tutor.
