- TOGAS (Training for Opportunities and Growth in Academic Sustainability) is a postdoctoral talent attraction programme at the University of Antwerp, co-funded by the MSCA Choose Europe for Science initiative.
- TOGAS calls for talented and ambitious postdoctoral researchers who are strongly motivated to advance their academic career path at the University of Antwerp. More than a postdoctoral fellowship, TOGAS introduces a pre-tenure track career model, providing a stairway to a long-term academic perspective at UAntwerpen.
- The programme will recruit five outstanding postdoctoral researchers through one open, international, and competitive call.
- Fellows will be appointed for a total period of 60 months, structured in two phases: an initial Phase 1 of 36-months, followed by a Phase 2 of 24-months designed to support longer-term academic integration and progression.
- TOGAS is built around sustainability as an overarching cross-disciplinary research orientation. The programme addresses major sustainability challenges across a specific set of STEM fields: chemistry, circular product design, architecture and interior architecture, and medical biochemistry. For each of the five research themes, one postdoctoral researcher will be selected.
- Through TOGAS, the University of Antwerp aims to attract, develop, and retain academic talent, strengthening its research capacity in sustainability-related STEM domains and creating opportunities for the next generation of academic leaders.
