High-Level Scientific Stays 2020 : the second session open until June 22nd

The French Institute finances research-driven short stays to improve collaboration between France and Estonia. The second session of the year 2020 is open until 22 June, with a particular focus on sustainable development, the fight against global warming and energy.

The High-Level Scientific Stays (SSHN) programme offers PhD students and researchers from Estonian universities a short stay in a research laboratory in France, for a period ranging from 15 days to one month. Applicants must present a solid project accompanied by a visit schedule and an invitation from the French partner.

  • A net monthly allowance of €2,055 for senior researchers (€1,704 for young researchers), paid towards travel and accommodation expenses in France.
  • An accommodation in a hotel residence at a preferential rate of €580 per month or €19.33 per night. This accommodation, worth €1,700 per month, is subsidised at a rate of two-thirds by Campus France, the main French operator in the field of academic mobility.

 

The French Institute is committed to the climate!
