Rosalind Franklin Fellowship

The Rosalind Franklin Fellowship (RFF) is an initiation of University of Groningen,  the Netherlands. It is named in honor of Rosalind Franklin. The purpose of the RFF program is to promote the advancement of talented international researchers at the highest levels of the institution.

History
The program is co-funded by the European Union and primarily directed at female academics, who have a PhD and substantial post-graduation work experience, and who aim for a career towards full professorship at a European top research university. The 5-year fellowship is given to female academics with outstanding track record, including high-quality publications, external funding, and leadership, and provides the fellow with salary and research funds to start a research group and conduct independent research.

In 2009, Queen Máxima of the Netherlands joined the Fellowship Ceremony. The RFF program, since its initiation in 2003 and as of 2019, has successfully supported more than 80 female academics, who now constitute more than 10% of the female professors of the university.
