for scholarships

Ph.D.Plus scholarships are scholarships for persons from the South (DGDC country list) that were awarded a Ph.D. as part of or after having participated in a VLIR-UOS programme or at a Flemish university and that wish to specialise at a Flemish university for up to three months in 2010.

The purpose of Ph.D.Plus scholarships is to give former scholars with a Ph.D. the opportunity to follow an intensive (refresher) course or conduct intensive scientific activities in a short period of time at a Flemish university and under the supervision of a Flemish promoter with the aim of utilising the acquired knowledge in the local context.

Ph.D.Plus scholarships are reserved for persons who meet the following three requirements. This means that applicants should:
(1) have obtained a Ph.D. degree at a Flemish university or (preferably but not necessarily) in the framework of a VLIR-UOS programme;
(2) have obtained this Ph.D. degree at least 1 year before the start of the Ph.D. Plus scholarship;
(3) have the nationality of one of the countries on the DGDC list of developing countries;
(4) not have been granted a “south-north specialisation scholarship” from VLIR-UOS in 2009.

Further Scholarship Information and Application

The International Ibsen Scholarships were initiated by the Norwegian government and will be awarded for the third time in 2010. We solicit relevant applications, from projects throughout the world.

The scholarships are meant to act as incentives for critical discourse in regards to existential and society-related subject matters concerning Henrik Ibsen, and are applicable to individuals, organizations and institutions within the artistic and cultural communities. The applications are subject to scrutiny by an appointed jury.

Previous years, projects from Asia, North-America, Europe, Africa and Australia have received scholarships.

The presentation of the scholarships is staged in Ibsen’s birth town, Skien in Norway in September 2010 and coincides with Skien International Ibsen Conference.
