Why should you consider this?
Practical research training during undergraduate (BSc, MSc & Lic) studies can be an empowering experience. We want to encourage this by offering students an opportunity to conduct a research training period in any top research university e.g. as part of their optional studies (BSc) or Master’s thesis.
The HiLIFE Research Trainee Scholarships will provide generous financial support (up to €2000/month + travel costs) for three (BSc, Msc & Lic) or six (MSc) month training periods.
