To apply, Project Leaders are requested to fill in a short form on the ODISSEI website stating which early career researcher they would like to have added to which project. If accepted, ODISSEI will then notify CBS of the additional researcher and the researcher will then be added to the specified project without having to pay the authorization cost (monthly charges still apply).

From July 2024, ODISSEI will finance the addition of up to 50 new researchers. Project Leaders will be able to apply at any time, and the positions will be provided on a first-come first-served basis. The programme will be evaluated at the end of 2024 to ensure the programme effectively meets the community’s needs.
