University of Gent and Chinese Scholarship Council CSC announced Special Research Funding/Cofunding for PhD candidates in many areas. This initiative was made possible by the fact that, depending on research domain in which the candidate is interested, the Chinese Scholarship Council already supports, for a period of maximum 4 years, young researchers who want to go abroad to obtain a PhD-degree.
This call is open for both Chinese candidates who will apply for a PhD-grant by the CSC in 2013 to do a PhD at Ghent University and for candidates who are already working on their PhD at Ghent University with a CSC grant but without cofunding. Candidates can apply maximum two times for this cofunding programme; the cofunding can only be granted once per candidate.
The cofunding has the same duration as the candidate’s CSC-grant. For candidates who are already working on their PhD at Ghent University with a CSC-grant, the cofunding starts in March 2013 and ends when the CSC-grant stops.
The cofunding consists of financing for living and accommodation (about €5.400/year), insurance (about €500) and a bench fee for the promoter (€3.720/year)
Eligibility-
- Candidates must have the Chinese nationality and must apply for a CSC-grant in 2013 or be a PhD-student at Ghent University with a CSC-grant
- Candidates can apply maximum two times for a CSC-cofunding scholarship
- Chinese candidates who are not illegible for a CSC-grant or are not awarded a CSC-grant but who want to do a PhD at Ghent University, can apply for a Doctoral grant for candidates from developing countries, issued by Ghent University.
