Argelander Scholarships for doctoral candidates from universities in the Global South

The aim is to provide funding for doctoral candidates from countries in the Global South in order to promote scientific exchange with partners, particularly in regions that have been relatively marginalized in terms of scientific production. In order to promote international cooperation in the priority regions indicated in the partnership strategy, the University of Bonn is especially calling on doctoral candidates from Africa, South America, and Asia to participate. The funding is for a period of at least 3 and not more than 12 months. This funding line is intended to intensify collaborations between scientists in Bonn and their partners in the above-mentioned regions and expand such collaborations with respect to the promotion of early-career researchers. When the application is submitted, a formal or informal cooperation agreement should already exist between the home institute of the doctoral candidate and the host institute in Bonn.
Eligibility

  • Preference is given to doctoral candidates pursuing a doctoral degree at a university or a research institute in Africa, Latin America, or Asia.
  • Doctoral candidates who are already pursuing their Ph.D. at the University of Bonn are not eligible for funding. Recipients of funding should finish their doctorates at their home university (to avoid brain drain).

The funding can cover the following: A travel allowance (depending on the country of origin), scholarship of € 3,000 per month (additional funds for family members: up to € 300 for a spouse and € 250 per child) and, research expense allowance of up to € 500 per month.
The deadline for application is May 31, 2021. Visit Funder for details.
