PhD Research Stays
PhD students from the GUC can receive DAAD funding for a research stay at a German university. The research stay can last from 6 to 12 months and usually starts in summer. Currently the scholarship includes a one-time travel allowance of 1.025 € and a monthly stipend of 1.300 €. A call for applications with a list of available projects is published by the GUC at the end of each year.
