Description
Ph.D. Candidates funded by the EUI contracting states receive a monthly scholarship/stipend and do not pay the programme's tuition fees.
Benefits
Monthly grant: €2,200 (incl. MELA social insurance payment) if the researcher is not receiving any other funding
If researcher has under-age children, the grant is €2,600 (incl. MELA social insurance payment), if the researcher is not receiving any other funding.
Researcher's and accompanying family members' travel costs are also remunerated.
The grant sums awarded take account of the grant recipients obligation to take out pension, accident and life insurance.
The researcher may also request remuneration for certain indispensable research costs not covered by other sources (e.g. data collection, equipment, access to data).
The Funding Authority provides a monthly grant for the first three years of EUI Ph.D. Programme. The fourth year is covered by the EUI (2025 EUI grant amount is 1,620 EUR per month, in addition to other allowances).
The Funding Authority will provide a top-up to the fourth-year monthly grant (580 EUR).
