Since 2023, UGA has welcomed, within its GATES fellowship program, more than 30 foreign researchers (at the doctoral, post-doctoral, junior, senior and distinguished level) from more than 20 different countries from across the globe. This community of researchers is strong, unique and diversified and prides itself on being as open as it can possibly be, in terms of research, disciplines and areas of expertise.

Today, and in the context of the threats weighing over the research community in the United States, the GATES program has decided to open its doors to all researchers from the US looking for a secure and welcoming place to pursue their research and develop new projects. The GATES team will help them settle within the UGA research community as well as allow them to benefit from the support of the UGA research labs and infrastructures. Researchers will be welcomed by our International Students and Scholars Office (ISSO), will be affiliated to UGA with easy access to libraries and research facilities, and also have the assistance of Fostering Science and other such support units to help them obtain ERC Grants. 

We at UGA are encouraging all researchers in the US in need of institutional support and European funding or who feel that their present and future research projects are in any way discarded or disrespected to contact us at the following email address opengates@univ-grenoble-alpes.fr.
