Grants for researcher training at EUI

The European University Institute (EUI) in Florence, Italy, is run jointly by the EU Member States. The EUI arranges postgraduate training and awards research grants to postdoctoral researchers. The EUI has four departments: History and Civilization, Economics, Law, and Political and Social Sciences.
 
The language of instructions within the four-year doctoral programme is normally English, in some programmes French.
 
The EUI has changed over to electronic application processing. Applications for EUI doctoral programmes shall be submitted by the end of January.
 
A shortlist of candidates shall be drawn up by the EUI together with the Academy of Finland. Shortlisted candidates will be invited to an interview in Florence in April. The EUI Entrance Board will make the final decision in May.
 
The Academy of Finland supports persons who from the very start complete their doctorate at the EUI. Researchers who are admitted to the EUI's doctoral programme shall apply by the Academy's online service for a grant at EUI. The monthly grant awarded to a postgraduate researcher is 1,825 euros (incl. MELA social insurance payment)  if the researcher is not receiving any other funding. If the researcher has under-age children, the grant is 2,225 euros (incl. MELA social insurance payment) a month, if the researcher is not receiving any other funding. The researcher's and any accompanying family members' travel costs are also remunerated. The grant sums awarded take account of the grant recipients obligation to take out pension, accident and life insurance.
 
More detailed information on EUI doctoral programmes and the application procedure is available on the EUI website.
