Description
The Leverhulme Trust's Emeritus Fellowships are intended for senior researchers in the UK who have retired or partially retired from academic posts, enabling them to complete significant personal research projects and prepare findings for publication. The scheme is designed to facilitate, integrate, or finalize the applicant’s own research rather than provide broad support for research groups or assistants. Fellowships are available across most academic disciplines, except for applied medical research, and aim to encourage ongoing scholarly contributions from experienced academics.
