Fellowship Young Energy Scientists (YES!) for Andrea Baldi (ChemE/MECS)
22 October 2010 by M&C Applied Sciences/ChemEThis month, the Foundation for Fundamental Research on Matter (FOM) awarded the first two YES! fellowships (grants) to the researchers Dr. Joep Pijpers (AMOLF) and Dr. Andrea Baldi (ChemE, MECS group) The fellowships were awarded in the context of the ''Fellowships for Young Energy Scientists'' (YES!) programme, which was initiated by FOM.
Ideas
YES! focuses on promising young researchers who have recently obtained a PhD, who have innovative ideas on the conservation, generation and storage of energy, and who aspire to an academic career in fundamental energy research.
Abroad
YES! fellowships will give these two talented researchers, Joep Pijpers and Andrea Baldi, an opportunity to develop their knowledge of foundational (physical) energy research. At the same time, they will be able to hone their skills, find inspiration, and gain experience in this field. To this end, they will work at one or two centres of excellence outside the Netherlands for up to three years. Following their stay abroad, they will have the opportunity to conduct research at a Dutch research institute for up to one year.
Impetus
This final year of the YES! fellowship is intended to give an impetus to the process of embedding the knowledge obtained into the edifice of Dutch scientific research. It is a condition of YES! fellowships that the chosen line of investigation in the field of energy research should be new to the Netherlands. Accordingly, this programme will structurally enrich Dutch energy research.
