Solar-Terrestrial Centre of Excellence


Visiting Fellow Program

Responsible person: Ronald Van der Linden

Overall description
The visiting fellow program allows inviting external experts for short or long stays at one of the three institutes. Thus, we may benefit from the expertise they may inject into the programs, while at the same time the foreign experts get to know the STCE and its partners. Collaborations may result from such research visits. To augment the collaboration between the three institutes at the Space Pole, preference will be given to guest investigators working on topic that are of interest to at least 2 of the institutes.

Long Term Goal
  • Integrate the STCE in the international scientific community and increase its visibility.
  • Establish scientific collaborations with other institutes. Raise international interest for the products and services offered by the STCE.
  • Establish transfer of knowledge and expertise from well-established foreign researchers.
  • Ensure international awareness of the availability of data from the various space missions that the three institutes are involved in to foster the collaborative scientific analysis of this data.
