About this scholarship
What the Scholarship Offers
The Higher KOS Scholarships provided funding of 940 per month for 3 months to PhD and PostDoc researchers from the Kosovan higher education sector. The programme was part of the Higher KOS project, which ran from December 2011 to September 2015 and was funded by the Austrian Development Cooperation. A total of 15 scholarships were awarded across the PhD and PostDoc levels. Scholarships were administered by OeAD GmbH (the Austrian Exchange Service).
Purpose
The scholarships helped researchers from Kosovo's public universities build their skills and contribute to integrating Kosovo into the European Research Area (ERA) — a network of European countries that coordinate their research and science policies together.
Who Could Apply
- Nationality: Citizens of the Republic of Kosovo
- Academic level: PhD candidates or PostDoc researchers (early-career academics who have already completed a doctorate)
- Affiliation: Working within the Kosovan higher education sector
Programme Status
The Higher KOS project ended on 30 September 2015. It was succeeded by the HERAS (Higher Education, Research and Applied Science in Kosovo) programme, which ran from 2017 to 2020 and included similar PhD and PostDoc scholarships for Kosovan academics.
