About this scholarship
Bridge Fellowships at UMONS

It applies exclusively to this transitional period. The grant is provided by the Research Council (CRECH) of the Université de Mons (UMONS) in Belgium. It secures your funding during the weeks or months between the end of your current funding and the start of your next research contract, ensuring that your doctoral thesis does not come to a standstill.

How to apply
Decisions on applications are taken by the UMONS Research Council (CRECH). Information on the current deadlines is available from the UMONS PhD Office or the Research Funding Department.
