After four successful years, ECSB is pleased to announce the fifth edition of the Virtual Visiting Scholar Programme for 2026.
This initiative supports early career researchers in developing their research agenda through online collaboration with faculty, researchers, and networks at a selected host institution. By leveraging ECSB’s global network, the programme makes visiting scholarships more accessible, fostering academic career development, strengthening institutional relationships, and promoting international collaborative research.
For 2026, six host institutions are offering positions:
- Eastern Mediterranean University
- Josip Juraj Strossmayer University of Osijek
- Kingston Business School
- The Hague University of Applied Sciences
- University of Groningen & University of Southern Denmark
- University of Turku
Interested ECSB members are invited to apply for a virtual visiting position at one of these institutions. Applications should include a preliminary research plan and CV. Preference is given to early career researchers who have recently completed or are close to completing their PhD.
Deadline for applications: 18 January 2026
