The purpose of the CV is to help reviewers decide whether the applicant has a background that is well suited to perform the project. For this reason, personal interests are not relevant.  Voluntary work should only be included if it is relevant to the proposed research.

Question 5

Is the Frontier Fellowship only for postdocs, or can you apply for other types of projects?

Accepted Answer
