Welcome back to the pod! After a bit of a break, Charlie and Rosie are back with our new guest Ben, to talk about Visiting Fellowships. Together, we discuss: 1) what Visiting Fellowships are (spoiler: a period of time spent away from your home institution, travelling to a special place to conduct research with materials that you cannot access at home), 2) how the application process works, 3) what makes a good/bad application, and 4) how to make the most of a Fellowship if you're lucky enough to gain one. Along the way, we reflect on our own experiences of some of the most enjoyable times of our research careers. If you enjoyed this episode then do try some of our others, give us a follow on your podcast platform, and follow us on social media (@ECRPodcasters). Thank you for listening!
