Description
The Institute of Physics (IOP) launched this fellowship, funded by IOP Publishing, to support early-career physicists undertaking short-term research placements abroad. Placements are intended to develop experimental and investigative skills, advance research and professional development, and build international collaborations. Proposals should demonstrate an investigative or experimental focus.
The fellowship honours IOP member George Lucy, whose legacy gift sought to widen access to high-quality physics education and research. Its emphasis on hands-on skills, opportunity and collaboration reflects that legacy and aims to strengthen a diverse global physics community.
