EDUFI Doctoral Fellowships
EDUFI Doctoral Fellowships in Finland
Summary: EDUFI Doctoral Fellowships in Finland are for foreign doctoral students or researchers who want to do their research in Finland with the support of a Finnish university department. The fellowships are offered by the Finnish National Agency for Education (EDUFI) and honor the academic excellence and international cooperation of Finnish universities. Here are some details about the fellowships:
1. Application requirements: You cannot apply for the fellowship yourself. You need to find a Finnish university department that is willing to host you and apply for the grant on your behalf. You also need to have a master’s degree or equivalent, be under 35 years old, and have no previous research experience in Finland. You need to submit an online application form, a research plan, a letter of invitation from the Finnish university department, and a letter of recommendation from your home university by the end of February.
2. Fellowship benefits: You will receive 1500 euros per month to cover your living expenses in Finland. The minimum duration of the fellowship is three months and the maximum is one year. You can choose any research field and project that matches your interests and goals.
3. Fellowship type: This is a one-time, non-renewable fellowship. You can only receive it once in your academic career. You need to use the fellowship in the same year that you are awarded it.
4. Award Fellowships: EDUFI awards about 30 fellowships each year, depending on the availability of funds and the quality of applications. The selection is based on the academic merit and potential of the applicants, the relevance and feasibility of the research plan, and the commitment and support of the Finnish university department. The results are announced in April on the EDUFI website.
