Description

The CIMO Fellowships programme is open to young Doctoral level students and researchers from all countries and from all academic fields. Master’s level studies or post-doctoral studies/research are not supported in the programme. The primary target group in the CIMO Fellowship programme are such Doctoral level students who will be doing their Doctorate (or Double Doctorate) at a Finnish university. Visiting Doctoral-level students and researchers who are doing their Doctorate degree at some foreign university can also be considered eligible, provided that the motivation letter of the hosting Finnish university department presents exceptionally good grounds for such an application.

  • Have established contacts with a Finnish host university (see ‘Doctoral Admissions‘ for further information);
  • You are also advised to visit the Finnish universities’ own websites for info on Doctoral level study and research options;
  • If a Finnish university is willing to host you, then the Finnish university department wishing to host you can apply to CIMO for the grant on your behalf. In other words, only the hosting Finnish university can act as an “applicant” in the CIMO Fellowship programme.

Scholarship

  • The scholarship period may vary from 3 to 12 months;
  • The monthly allowance is 1,500 EUR;
  • The scholarship is intended to cover living expenses in Finland for a single person;
  • No additional allowance for housing is paid;
