Overview

The Laura Bassi Scholarship was established in 2018 to support postgraduate students and early-career academics whose research focuses on neglected or under-researched topics within their disciplines. The scholarship is open to all academic fields globally and is awarded three times every year (Spring, Summer, Winter cycles).

Instead of cash funding, the award is provided as professional editorial assistance to support high-quality academic research outputs such as theses, dissertations, and journal articles.
