The French-Georgian University, in cooperation with the French Institute of Georgia, announces a competition for a two-month scholarship for doctoral level Georgian students studying at a higher educational or scientific-research institution in Georgia.

This scholarship is aimed at financing a research period in France, within the framework of a French higher educational and scientific-research institution.

The stipend (€2,100 for a two-month period) will cover travel and living expenses in full or in part. The scholarship program will be implemented in 2024-2025 academic year.

Contestants must prepare a dossier that includes the following documents:

• Duly completed resume and research project (see attached document)
• Letter of invitation from a French scientific institution, which will accept a Georgian doctoral student in their team for two months.
• Copy of passport (passport must be valid in France for 6 months after the end of the scholarship program).

Dossiers must be submitted in French or English.

The evaluation will depend on its scientific quality and the relevance of traveling to France to carry out the research project.
Knowledge of French will be an advantage.
