Study- and Research-Scholarships of today for megacities of tomorrow
Main aim of the accompanying measure is to give the megacity projects the possibility to gain additional foreign research capacities by granting study- and research-scholarships. In parallel, this should contribute to the development of new scientific expertise and the creation of sustainable megacity networks (capacity building).
According to the thematic focus of the research projects, especially qualified students, PhD students, postdocs and senior scientists from the partner countries (Vietnam, India, China, Iran, Peru, South Africa, Ethiopia, Morocco) are supported; currently these are 59 scholarships, administered by DAAD.
Through their connection to those universities in Germany that are directly involved in the cooperative projects (target universities), all scholarship holders have - as an addition to their individual training - the possibility to network among one another and with the German project partners sustainably and internationally within the project or in the research field (continuation of scientific results).
Applications will be accepted up until 30th September 2010. Further information is available on the Website of the DAAD.
