One of the biggest challenges for many doctoral students is finding funding for their project. Our counselling aims to provide you with a comprehensive overview of the available funding options.
If you would like to start a PhD project without having already secured funding, there are various options available to you:
The Erasmus+ programme offers various opportunities for research and work stays abroad, such as Erasmus+ International Mobility, Erasmus+ Internships, Erasmus+ Short Term PhD Mobility. The International Office will provide you with expert advice and support in all questions and processes relating to Erasmus+.
If none of the above-mentioned funding programmes are suitable for you, it may be worthwhile carrying out more comprehensive research:
Austria-wide: The Austrian database for scholarships and research funding grants.at provides an overview for all scientific fields.
Europe-wide: The pages euraxess.at and european-funding-guide.eu help you to search fpr funding opportunities and jobs throughout Europe.
