Summary
The aim is to provide funding for doctoral candidates from countries in the Global South in order to promote scientific exchange with partners, particularly in regions that have been relatively marginalized in terms of scientific production. In order to promote international cooperation in the priority regions indicated in the partnership strategy, the University of Bonn is especially calling on doctoral candidates from Africa, South America and Asia to participate. The funding is for a period of at least 3 and not more than 12 months.
Benefits:
The funding can cover the following:
A travel allowance (depending on country of origin)
A scholarship of € 1,500 per month (additional funds for accompanying family members: up to € 300 for a spouse and € 250 per child)
A research expense allowance of up to € 300 per month can be submitted to the International Office after the scholarship has been awarded. Information on applying for the allowance will be provided with your scholarship award.
Insurance benefits are not included in the scholarship. Please note that the International Office cannot provide housing for scholarship recipients.
Eligibility:
Preference is given to doctoral candidates pursuing a doctoral degree at a university or a research institute in Africa, Latin America or Asia. Doctoral candidates who are already pursuing their Ph.D. at the University of Bonn are not eligible for funding. Recipients of funding should finish their doctorates at their home university (to avoid brain drain).
The quality of the research project to be pursued as part of the doctoral studies during the candidate’s stay in Bonn
The intensity of the existing cooperation or its potential for future growth between the applicant and the home institution of the doctoral candidate.
The integration of the doctoral candidate into an existing research environment in Bonn (e.g. integration into a BIGS work group, etc.; use of a workplace, etc)
An effective supervision blueprint under the cooperation agreement.
Deadline:
