Grants for foreign science students

Since 2005, the Institut Curie has been providing 3-year grants, plus 1 more year if necessary, for foreign students who wish to work for their doctorate in the laboratories of the Research Center.
13 students have already received grants. The Institut Curie plans to continue this program with at least four grants at the start of each academic year.
Applicants are selected by their professors or course directors or both on the basis of their grades and record in their home country. They must be presented by a team leader authorized to supervise research and are enrolled in a French graduate school during their thesis work.
