Applications invited for EDUFI Fellowship

About the Organization:

In Finland, the national administration of education and training has a two-tier structure. The Ministry of Education and Culture is the highest authority and is responsible for all publicly funded education in Finland. The Ministry is responsible for preparing educational legislation, all necessary decisions and its share of the state budget for the Government. The Finnish National Agency for Education is the national development agency responsible for early childhood education and care, pre-primary, basic, general and vocational upper secondary education as well as for adult education and training. Higher education is the responsibility of the Ministry of Education and Culture.

EDUFI Fellowship:

The EDUFI Fellowship is intended, particularly, for providing initial funding to carry out research for a doctoral thesis in Finland. We have attracted excellent young researches to Finland with the fellowship, the majority of whom have also managed to secure further funding for their research.

Who can apply and for whom?

You can apply for the fellowship grant if 

• you work as a researcher or a teacher in a Finnish university department
