Applications are open until 2 February 2026 for graduates with a Master\u2019s degree in STEM fields or social sciences with expertise in data science: 10 fellowships worth \u20ac23,000<\/strong> for a one-year traineeship at ISI Foundation<\/strong>, in collaboration with international agencies and leading data scientists. The Lagrange Project<\/strong> has already supported over 800 young researchers<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

ISI Foundation (Institute for Scientific Interchange)<\/strong> and Fondazione CRT<\/strong> are offering 10 Applied Research Fellowships<\/strong> in data science and artificial intelligence for sustainable development, public health, and social impact. The call is open to Italian and international recent graduates holding a Master\u2019s degree (by the start of the fellowship) in STEM disciplines\u2014such as computer science, physics, mathematics, or statistics\u2014or in social sciences with experience in data science. The Lagrange Project\u2013Fondazione CRT call<\/strong> is open until 2 February 2026<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Each fellowship, worth \u20ac23,000 gross<\/strong>, will enable the selected candidates to undertake a 12-month interdisciplinary traineeship<\/strong> at ISI Foundation\u2019s laboratories, working alongside world-class data scientists and major international agencies. This represents a valuable opportunity both for graduates aiming for an academic career and for those interested in careers in industry or the non-profit sector.<\/p>\n

Research activities will focus on data science and artificial intelligence applied to public health and epidemiology<\/strong>; computational forecasting of epidemics and pandemics<\/strong> using non-traditional data sources; network science<\/strong> for urban mobility and the future of cities; and machine learning and data analysis<\/strong> for humanitarian response, the study of socioeconomic inequalities<\/strong>, sustainable development<\/strong>, migration<\/strong>, unemployment<\/strong>, poverty<\/strong>, and information reliability<\/strong>. Methods will include machine learning, statistical modeling, natural language processing (NLP), and network science, applied to datasets ranging from thousands to billions of data points.<\/p>\n

Applications<\/strong><\/p>\n

Since 2003, the Lagrange Project\u2013Fondazione CRT<\/strong> has supported over 800 young researchers<\/strong>, with total funding exceeding \u20ac53 million<\/strong>\u2014the largest investment in a scientific project under the stewardship of Fondazione CRT. Applications must be submitted by completing the online form available on the Lagrange Fellowship Call Webpage 2025\/2026<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Lagrange Fellowships, supported by the Lagrange Project\u2013Fondazione CRT, are not merely financial support for study: they are a direct entry into the living laboratory of data science and artificial intelligence. Over the years, those who have worked side by side with ISI Foundation researchers and the Institute\u2019s international partner network have been able to engage firsthand with the major cultural, economic, and social challenges of our time, using data to understand them and to help drive change. It is an educational, professional, and human journey that strengthens human capital and trains a new generation of professionals capable of using data for positive social impact,\u201d said Alessandro Vespignani<\/strong>, President of ISI Foundation.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

\u201cWith the Lagrange Fellowships we offer young talents a unique opportunity to develop advanced skills in data science and artificial intelligence,\u201d said Anna Maria Poggi<\/strong>, President of Fondazione CRT<\/strong>. \u201cThis call is part of Fondazione CRT\u2019s broader path to strengthen its commitment to innovation \u2018for good,\u2019 supporting internationally-oriented research and new initiatives focused on knowledge dissemination, the enhancement of the innovation ecosystem, and technology transfer. Thanks to the collaboration with ISI Foundation and global-level scientific partners, the Lagrange Fellowships enable young researchers to apply data science and AI tools and methods in real-world contexts, helping to generate practical and meaningful solutions for society. This is the deeper meaning of our commitment: promoting innovation that improves people\u2019s lives, strengthens human capital, and supports fair, inclusive, and responsible development for the territory.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
