With respect to the previous programme description, the main changes concern the profile of the applicants:

The Fellowship will be awarded to an extremely promising, young astrophysicist, working in any field of astrophysics, either theoretical, observational or experimental. *Applicants in the last months of their PhD, having already made successful contacts for a post-doctoral position, or post-docs in their first year of appointment, are encouraged to apply.* In the case of applicants at the PhD level, the PhD must have been awarded by the start of the Fellowship, i.e., *not later than Oct. 1^st of the award year.*
