Deadline- 31 January 2014
The Nordic Africa Institute is accepting applications for Travel Scholarships offered for research on Africa. The scholarships are intended for travel expenses and accommodation in connection with fieldwork and can-not be used to cover salaries. In recent years, the maximum awarded for travel scholarships has been between 30 000 and 40 000 SEK.
Natural science projects must clearly motivate how they relate to social sciences and development. Projects without a strong component of development research are not qualified. The scholarships are not awarded for study visits, excursions, or participation in conferences.
Documents Requited-
- Application form
- Detailed plan of the project
- Copies of degree certificate and other appendices
Eligibility & Criteria-
- Students registered in educational programmes at Nordic universities, colleges and other research institutions in the Nordic countries (Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden) can apply for the scholarships, regardless of citizenship. The scholarships are only intended for MA and PhD candidates.
- The scholarships are intended for research and preparation of research projects. Research should concern development issues in Africa and emphasis is placed on the social sciences (anthropology, history, economics, human geography, sociology, political science etc). Scholarships are intended to cover travelling expenses to Africa and to contribute to the cost of local travel and living expenses. Exceptionally, scholarships may be awarded for archive studies in Europe.
