2025/05 - BOF OUTGOING MOBILITY

Research

Funding organisation:

Bijzonder OnderzoeksFonds

What?

The BOF programme outgoing mobility funds outgoing international academic research stays for a short period of time (from 1 to 3 months). The stay can take place in 2025 and start from July 2025 onwards. The outgoing international mobility programme is open for postdoctoral researchers, tenure-track assistant professors and ZAP members for a short stay at international research institutions/universities. The stay of the researcher has to be part of the scientific research within their research group or institute.

In certain regions, there is a concern about the involvement of research institutions and universities in human rights violations. Hasselt University urges its staff to exercise particular caution when collaborating with partners from regions listed on this page.

This funding includes a fixed daily allowance of € 66/day (max. € 1.650/month) and an intervention in the travel costs for 1 return ticket. With regard to the travel expenses BOF follows the guidelines of UHasselt's sustainable travel policy.

• This implies that destinations that can be reached by public transport (train, bus) within a time frame stipulated in the UHasselt travel policy, a return ticket for public transport will be reimbursed.
• If the destination cannot be reached within the time frame stipulated in the UHasselt travel policy a fixed amount is provided:
  • € 500 within Europe;
  • € 1.000 outside Europe.

Who?

• Applications can only be submitted by a postdoctoral researcher, a tenure-track assistant professor or a ZAP member. Applications for mobility of a postdoctoral researcher must be submitted together with a promoter that belongs to ZAP at UHasselt;
• A parallel application with FWO is required and should be added to the BOF application. (FWO - Travel Grant for a long stay abroad, Submission deadline with FWO: no later than 3 months before departure);
• The stay should be part of the scientific research within the research group/institute;
• The application must be accompanied by a positive advice from the discipline group (vakgroepraad).
