The Rosalind Franklin Fellowship (RFF) is an initiation of University of Groningen,[1][2][3] the Netherlands.
The purpose of the RFF program is to promote the advancement of talented international researchers at the highest levels of the institution.
The program is co-funded by the European Union[4] 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.
