ERCIM Alain Bensoussan Fellowship Program is established by the FP7 Marie Curie Actions – People and Co-funding of Regional, National, and International Programs (COFUND) under the European Commission (EU).
Number of Fellowships: More than 150 fellowships/Scholarships have been granted under the Program.
The Marie Curie co-funding action aims to enhance transnational mobility for the training and career development of experienced researchers, students, and professionals.
Eligibility Conditions
- The Fellowships are available for PhD holders.
- Candidates from all over the world can apply for these scholarships.
- Candidates should have obtained a Ph.D. degree during the last 8 years (before the application deadline) or be in the last year of the thesis work with an outstanding academic record.
- Should be fluent in English.
- Should be discharged or get a deferment from military service.
- the fellowship is restricted to two terms (one reselection possible)
- have completed the Ph.D. before starting the grant (proof will be requested before your arrival).
