In 2017, ESSE will offer funding of up to €19,000 to help cover costs
associated with a research trip.

ESSE will again offer TWO types of travel bursaries:

• Type A: a number of bursaries of up to €1,500 each will be available for scholars in need of support to pursue a project or programme of research leading to the writing of their PhD dissertation.
• Type B: a number of bursaries of up to €1,500 each will be available for scholars already holding a doctorate or its equivalent.

Applications are invited from all member countries. Awards are made on the basis of academic merit. Priority will be given to scholars employed at Universities in Central and Eastern Europe who are in need of support to pursue a project or programme of research.
Only one application per person is allowed.

Bursaries may not be used to support research trips begun before the Bursary Committee has announced the outcome of the competition.

Applications for Type A and Type B Bursaries will not normally be entertained from candidates who have previously been successful in that competition.
The deadline for applications for both types of Bursaries is 1 March 2017.
Notification to the applicants should be sent (electronically) by 15 April 2017.
