UniCredit & Universities Foundation

Welcome to UniCredit & Universities!

The Foscolo Europe Fellowships, in their second edition, are intended to support the homecoming of great European minds. The fellowships are aimed at the most talented researchers who initially graduated from European universities and then went on to complete a Ph.D. in economics or finance outside of the continent; applicants must still be teaching or researching abroad, with an intention to return to Europe to continue their research.

These fellowships will be awarded every two years, covering a two-year period of research, and they are renewable for an additional two years.

In 2009 UniCredit awarded one Ugo Foscolo Fellowship to Emiliano Santoro, PhD from University of Cambridge and, currently, Assistant Professor at University of Copenhagen. Thanks to the Foscolo Europe Fellowship, from October he will be back in Milan and prosecute his research at Catholic University.

The new announcement for one Foscolo Europe Fellowship 2010 is already open. The Fellowships amounts to € 60,000.

Applications must be submitted online. The winner will be selected by the Scientific Committee of the Foundation and will be announced by 15 January 2011.
