Application checklist
- Choose at most two projects from the six offered for the 2027 call
- Write a 1-page motivation letter addressed to the PI of each chosen project
- Prepare your CV, degree(s) and transcript, and contact details for two references
- Confirm your degree will be awarded before the 1 September 2027 start if not yet held
- Submit the project-related application by 10 January 2027
Application tips
- Because applications are project-related, tailor each motivation letter to the specific PI and project; a generic letter weakens both applications.
- No language certificate is required, but English fluency is tested in interview, so prepare to discuss your project in English.
- Two projects is the maximum: a third application would breach the call rules.
