Special Research Fund - Cofunding for Chinese candidates holding a CSC-grant
- With support from its "Special Research Fund" (BOF), Ghent University is able to provide cofunding for Chinese PhD students holding a PhD-grant from the Chinese Scholarship Council (CSC)
Duration
The cofunding has the same duration as the candidate's CSC-grant. For candidates who are already working on their PhD at Ghent University with a CSC-grant, the cofunding starts in March 2014 and ends when the CSC-grant stops.
Who can apply
Candidates must have the Chinese nationality and must apply for a CSC-grant in 2014 or be a PhD-student at Ghent University with a CSC-grant.
Not every research domain is covered by the CSC. See the the list of CSC Favorably-Sponsored Areas & Majors.
Candidates can look for a Ghent University promoter (=supervisor) in their domain of interest by browsing the list of faculties and research topics.
Candidates can apply maximum two times for a CSC-cofunding scholarship.
Chinese candidates who are not illegible for a CSC-grant or are not awarded a CSC-grant but who want to do a PhD at Ghent University, can apply for a Doctoral grant for candidates from developing countries, issued by Ghent University.
How does it work?
The candidate applies to Ghent University jointly with a promoter of Ghent University.The Research Council makes a selection of the applications. The recommendation is based on the evaluation of the doctoral project, the qualifications of the applicant and the scientific/scholarly potential of the promoter's research group(s).
How much funding is involved?
The cofunding consists of financing for living and accommodation (about €5.400/year), insurance (about €500) and a bench fee for the promoter (€3.720/year)
