22 researchers are recruited as associate senior lecturers

The aim is to strengthen higher education institutions’ ability to recruit outstanding researchers early in their careers and to create long-term conditions for research of the highest scientific quality. Scientific quality, researcher mobility and international experience have been key factors in the assessment.

Through this initiative, successful researchers will receive funding at the level of associate senior lecturer for five years, with the possibility of further funding at the level of senior lecturers following a review.
