- No more than 12 months spent in the last 3 years in the Netherlands, counting from date of recruitment (1st of February 2014). The fellow can be from any country in the world, including a national from the Netherlands itself (as long as they have been mostly away in the last three years);
- No PhD and within at most 4 years from the diploma that gives the rights to embark in a doctoral degree, counting from date of recruitment.
