Argelander Scholarships for doctoral candidates from universities in Africa, Latin America and Asia
University of Bonn
The aim of the scholarship is to provide funding for doctoral candidates from countries in Africa, Latin America, and Asia in order to promote scientific exchange with partners, particularly in regions that have been relatively marginalized in terms of scientific production, and to promote international cooperation in the priority regions indicated in the partnership strategy. The funding is for a period of at least 3 and not more than 12 months. This funding line is intended to intensify collaborations between scientists in Bonn and their partners in the above-mentioned regions and expand such collaborations with respect to the promotion of early-career researchers.
Eligibility
• Preference is given to international 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 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), and a research expense allowance of up to € 300 per month that can be submitted to the International Office after the scholarship has been awarded.
