Ghent University PhD Scholarship for Developing Countries

Applications for the 2024 Ghent University PhD Scholarship for Developing Countries are now open. With support from its “Special Research Fund” (BOF), Ghent University grants Ph.D. scholarships to promising Ph.D. students from developing countries who wish to carry out half of their Ph.D. research at Ghent University and half at a university in a developing country. No restrictions will be imposed relating to the fields of research. Nevertheless, preference will be given to topics that are relevant for the South-North Context

The scholarship holder will receive a monthly income from Ghent University only during their stay at Ghent University. The rest (24 months) of the Ph.D. research will be carried out at a partner university in the South, for which no funding is provided through this scholarship
