We aim to support young scientists who have developed or are developing new (wild) ideas that challenge the consensus in their field, and that relate to questions concerning (the role of) consciousness. We aim to support them to communicate and further develop their ideas. Therefore, applicants may apply for a fellowship involving up to €2000 for the following:

• publication costs;
• funding to disseminate ideas at scientific meetings;
• work visits to relevant research groups
  
  

Applicants should have received their PhD no more than five years ago. Predoctoral candidates in the final phases of their PhD may also apply. Established, independent investigators need not apply.

Applications on consciousness, the role of the observer and the nature of reality are encouraged. Applications on other topics will be considered, as long as they consider the role of consciousness in some form.

Grant awardees will automatically become members of the Tony Durston Maverick Fellows’ Network.
