Rubicon aims to encourage talented researchers who recently received their PhD to spend some time at research institutes outside of the Netherlands to further their scientific career.

Rubicon offers researchers who have completed their doctorates in the past year the chance to gain experience at a top research institution outside the Netherlands for a maximum period of two years. Rubicon is open for all scientific disciplines for a research project at a foreign research institute. For certain typically Dutch topics there is also a limited opportunity to apply for a research period at an excellent Dutch research institute. However, preference will be given to researchers who apply for a grant to spend time outside the Netherlands.

Postgraduates who are currently engaged in doctoral research or who have been awarded a doctorate in the twelve months preceding the relevant deadline. Applicants who are still engaged in doctoral research may only apply if their supervisor provides a written declaration approving their thesis.

In the five years directly preceding the submission deadline applicants must have conducted scientific research at an academic research institute in the Netherlands for a period at least equivalent to three years full time.
