Makers Fellowship

A fellowship for people turning AI research into something useful.

If you have an idea worth testing, the Makers Fellowship gives you time, space and practical support to turn it into a first prototype or pilot.

Purpose

Built for early-stage sciencepreneurs

The fellowship is a small, low-friction offer for people who are ready to move from research to action.

A short review cycle keeps momentum.

PhD graduates and postdocs can apply, with ambitious master's graduates also welcome.

Solo founders and teams can both fit, with funding scaled to the project.

Projects should result in something concrete, such as a prototype, pilot, or demo.

What fellows receive

The fellowship combines time, space, and practical help so you can focus on the work.

Around €4K per fellow, paid as individual support for development and validation.

You get room to work and access to the AI Center environment and community.

If a project needs something specific, we look at the options together.

How to apply

Tell us what you want to build, why it matters, and what you need to test it.

A concise proposal is enough to begin. We keep the first submission light.

If the fit looks good, we invite you to a conversation about the idea and next steps.

You will hear back quickly so you can move forward or adjust your plan.
