Dear colleagues,

 

We would like to inform you that the Greek State Scholarships Foundation
(IKY) and the Fulbright Greece will jointly implement a new scholarship
scheme to support the mobility of researchers between Greece and the U.S.A.
and enhance the cooperation between Greek and American higher education
institutions and research institutions/organizations.

The program will run for the academic year 2024-2025 and will provide
American doctoral candidates attending a U.S. higher education institution
with a monthly maintenance allowance in order to carry out dissertation
research in Greek higher education institutions and/or research
institutions/organizations for a period of six (6) months. Grant benefits
provided by the Greek State Scholarships Foundation also include travel,
settling-in allowance and research materials allowance. Ph.D. candidates
from all disciplines are eligible to apply.

 

The application deadline is 10 Οκτωβρίου 2023 (at 5:00 p.m. EST), and by this
date, the candidate needs to submit, among other documents, a letter of
invitation/affiliation indicating the name/position of the host and details
about the collaboration with one or more Greek State Universities and/or
research organizations/institutions. We are willing to assist candidates
from your University in establishing affiliations with Aristotle University
of Thessaloniki.

candidates should visit
