Description
1) Objective
There are two types:
- Individual Graduate Scholarship (IGS): IGS applications are invited from individuals seeking scholarships costs for up to 3 years. In addition to field trip costs, you may apply for a stipend to cover the period of preparing and undertaking field research and processing the results. A stipend provides funding to cover direct living costs and is not a salary. As such, no employment-based taxes should be claimed. They do not fund tuition costs or overhead costs.
- Individual Postdoctoral Fellowship (IPF): IPF applications are invited from individuals seeking their own support costs for up to two years duration. In addition to fieldtrip cost you may apply for your own postdoctoral salary costs. For a postdoctoral position it is expected that you are located at the host institution so you will be taking full advantage of the academic environment for your academic development.
2) Eligibility
ELDP welcomes applications from researchers of any nationality to undertake projects in any part of the world. Applicants should be enrolled in or admitted to a doctoral programme of study (PhD or equivalent).
3) Location
Actions can take place worldwide.
4) Budget
The maximum award for IPF is 250,000€.
5) Application
Deadline for submission of application forms is 1st October 2026, 5pm CEST.
