Doctoral fellowships Hints for your funding search

Focus your search on funding organizations or programs that could have a special interest in supporting your doctoral project either because of your topic or your own background. Feel free to contact the organizations personally to ask about the organizations’ culture and the application procedures. Assemble your application carefully and tailor it to the requirements and interests of each organization separately.

Be prepared to provide the following documents, among others, in an application:

  • working title of your project,
  • synopsis of your project,
  • time and work schedule for the project.
