About the conditions of the Fellowships

For this first call, the FEM will sponsor all 14 fellowships. Selected candidates will spend a total of 2 years work at FEM and 1 year at the partner institution co-responsible for the specific PhD project. Successful candidates can start working on their project from April 2010.

Note that the GMPF PhD programme does not handle request 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.

Fellows students will have 1 year time 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, the fellowship will stop.

The graduate studies curricula are carried out according to the rules of the University where the candidate is enrolled as PhD student. In addition to the graduate certificate of the University hosting the PhD student, the GMPF PhD Programme issues a specific graduate study certificate.

The salary is 20.000 Euro per year (before taxes) and is provided for 3 years with the possibility to extend 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 institutions.
