FELLINI is an international incoming mobility fellowship programme for experienced researchers which is co-financed by the European Commission through the Marie Sklodowska-Curie COFUND Action.

The FELLINI programme started on 1st January 2018 and will be completed on 31st December 2023*.

FELLINI supports 30 fellows through three-year appointments. A mandatory secondment to a different research institution or in a high-tech private company, on paid leave from INFN, is also expected. The secondment duration is from a minimum of six months to a maximum of 12 months, chosen by the fellow**.

Applications for the fellowships were open to researchers of any nationality and may be carried on in the INFN lines of research.

Fellowships were awarded competitively within an open, merit-based and transparent selection process.

* The FELLINI programme was originally planned to end on 31st December 2022. An extension of 1 year has been granted by the EU Commission via GA Amendment.

** The original duration of the secondment was expected to be 12 months. A change in the secondment duration was allowed by the EU Commission via GA Amendment.
