About the Fellowships
Fellowships include a salary of 20.000 Euro per year (before taxes), which is provided for 3 years with the possibility to extend it for 1 more year, pending the approval of the Tutor Committee. Students will also benefit of bench fees and reimbursement for travelling to the other partner institutions.
Note that the GMPF PhD programme does not handle requests for registration as PhD student. FEM is a research Foundation and cannot issue the PhD degree. Therefore successful candidates will have to register as PhD students with the University partner of the project or with another University.
Fellow students will have 1 year from when the fellowships starts to register as PhD students. If at the end of the first year the selected candidate is not yet registered as PhD student, the fellowship will stop.
The PhD curricula are carried out according to the rules of the University where the candidate is enrolled. In addition to the official graduate certificate issued by the University, the GMPF PhD Programme issues a specific certificate.
