GRF Young Scholars ProgramThe number of qualified applications that have been received for the GRF Young Scholars 2018 Term have exceeded the maximum number of participants previously set per group to ensure a fruitful discussion. This pleasing development has inspired us to form a second Young Scholars group in order to welcome a larger group of talented and willing participants to the GRF Communities. Due to there being more suitable candidates than the set quota in the applications for the first group, some of the accepted candidates have been placed in this new group. Applications for the remaining 10 places will continue to take place until September 21, 2018. The first meeting of the new group will take place on December 23-24-25, in Istanbul. The exact dates of the second part of the program, due to take place between May and June 2019, shall be decided during the December meeting.
