APH each year reserves budget to support, mostly junior and mid-career, researchers to travel to an international congress, symposium or to visit a research group abroad. The research programs aim to invest in talent development of early career researchers by providing this opportunity. Goals are to share knowledge internationally and to increase the academic network of junior and mid-career researchers.
Each APH research program annually awards part of their budget to work visit grants among its affiliated researchers. Requirements for funding and the availble budget difffers per research program. Awardees are asked to write a short work visit blog on their experiences abroad. Read below the blogs of the work visits in 2025:
