We are thrilled to announce the opening of applications for the first, pilot edition of our scholarship program: the 4CF Global Fellowship 2025! This unique initiative by 4CF sp. z o.o. aims to support the scientific development and research conducted by talented foreign students and doctoral candidates. We promote international academic cooperation and offer the opportunity to conduct advanced research in Warsaw, Poland.

In this edition, we particularly encourage applications from doctoral candidates whose scientific interests focus on bioeconomy and the future of food.

What do we offer to scholars?

Selected scholars will receive support for the period from July to December 2025. The benefits package includes accommodation in Warsaw, access to a workspace at the 4CF office, and a monthly financial benefit to cover minor expenses.

Who can apply?

The scholarship is open to foreigners who are second-cycle students or doctoral candidates at EU universities. Proficiency in English is essential, as is holding a right of residence in the EU or an appropriate visa. A key requirement is also to present a research project consistent with our interests, with particular emphasis on bioeconomy and the future of food.

How to apply?

Applications for the scholarship should be submitted electronically, in English, including a brief self-report, a cover letter, a curriculum vitae (CV), and a description of the research project.

The application deadline is June 6, 2025. Please send complete applications to: info@4cf.pl.

Kacper Nosarzewski, partner at 4CF, adds: “As Isaac Asimov once said, while problems and catastrophes may be inevitable, their solutions, unfortunately, are not. At 4CF, we believe that research into bioeconomy and the future of food is key to finding innovative solutions for the challenges we face today. Or, at worst, to understand what we lack and what we need to adapt to. We invite 4CF Global Fellows to reflect with us on these challenges and solutions.”

We invite you to familiarize yourself with the detailed Regulations of the Residency Scholarship “4CF Global Fellowship” of May 7, 2025.
