The French Embassy is offering grants to Maltese students/teachers/lecturers interested in carrying out research/training in a French laboratory or research institution.

This scholarship programme was created by the French Embassy to Malta, following a memorandum of understanding signed with the University of Malta, in order to strengthen cooperation between universities in France and the University of Malta by intensifying exchanges of students and teachers and increasing competences and transfer of knowledge.

Maltese nationals currently carrying out research at Masters, Doctorate and Post-Doctorate level are especially concerned, since this offers them the opportunity to use the advanced equipment and research data of the French laboratory or research centre while acquiring an exceptional experience by working with highly competent French and international researchers.

The fields of study are all sciences and related fields. The Malta Council for Science and Technology is offering a number of travel grants for selected candidates.

More information and application forms are available on the website of the French embassy to Malta: www.ambafrance-mt.org.
