Securing a research fellowship is a major milestone for early-career scientists, providing not only financial support but also access to cutting-edge facilities, valuable collaborations, and opportunities for independent research. However, standing out in the competitive world of research funding requires mastering the art of grant writing and proposal crafting.
To help young scientists navigate the fellowship application process, the Early Career Scientists (ECS) team of the Solar-Terrestrial (ST) division of the European Geosciences Union (EGU) is organizing a Campfire Event featuring an insightful lecture and discussion.
Join us for this interactive online session, where Dr. Florian Koller, a successful fellowship recipient, will share personal experiences, practical tips, and strategies for crafting compelling proposals. Following the talk, a networking session will provide an opportunity to connect with fellow ECS members, exchange ideas, and build collaborations.

Dr. Florian Koller is a Postdoctoral Research Assistant at Queen Mary University of London. He earned his PhD from the University of Graz, Austria, in 2024. His research focuses on how different solar wind structures influence plasma conditions in Earth’s magnetosheath and phenomena within it, such as high-speed jets and instabilities. In the future, he will expand his work to study plasma shocks across the heliosphere. Starting in the final phases of his PhD, he has written multiple scientific proposals to secure additional funding, including a recently awarded Marie Skłodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellowship, set to begin at the end of 2025.
