To support a smooth transition from PhD studies to the post-doctoral stage and the early years of an academic career, the EARLI Board of Directors is pleased to announce its annual Mentoring Grant for JURE members. Each year, selected JURE members are given the opportunity to take part in an international mentoring visit lasting 2 to 4 weeks with an experienced scholar in the field of Learning and Instruction. From 2026 onward, the Board will expand this initiative, increasing the number of supported mentees from five to ten per year. The JURE Mentoring Grant provides up to €2.200 to cover travel and accommodation costs related to your mentoring visit.
Applications for the Mentoring Grant 2026 are now closed.
Applicants will be informed about the review results around mid-April.

EARLI is delighted to announce its research development scheme for JURE members. The scheme is intended to provide successful applicants with funding to cover activities and items needed to develop research opportunities amongst JURE members. We hope that these contributions will provide additional support to JURE research, boost the quality of the research as well as further develop research culture broadly within EARLI. We would strongly welcome collaborative projects amongst JURE members or activities that would showcase EARLI to new potential members.
The bursary is limited to €1.000 per successful applicant and EARLI will support a total of 10 applicants.
Applications for the Research Development Fund 2026 are now closed.
Applicants will be informed about the review results in the first half of June.
JURE membership is aimed at master and PhD students, as well as graduates who have received their doctorate within the last three years.
Being a JURE member allows you to take part in the JURE and EARLI Conferences and meet colleagues from all over Europe. EARLI commits itself to offering junior researchers the opportunity to become actively involved in the association, at a strongly reduced fee (€40 per calendar year).
The annual JURE Career Day offers junior researchers the opportunity to engage with questions about and advice on career building and opportunities beyond your PhD. Through direct, informal interaction with senior researchers as well as a number of workshops focusing on career building and corresponding academic skills, we aim to support junior researchers in their academic endeavours.
