Joint Rustaveli-DAAD-fellowship programme

The Joint Rustaveli-DAAD-fellowship programme aims to promote research projects within the context of doctoral degrees and scientific programmes of young researchers. The programme supports research visits to state or state-recognised institutions of higher education or non-university research institutes in Germany, carried out in conjunction with an academic adviser in Germany or in Germany and Georgia. It offers short-term research scholarships ranging from 2-6 months for young researchers and postdocs, 3-month research scholarships for doctoral students, and 6-month research scholarships for binationally supervised doctoral students. The fellowship includes monthly stipend payments, travel expense contributions, and health insurance coverage. An independent selection committee evaluates applications based on the quality of the research project, academic achievements, and adequate language skills.
