CIMO Fellowships Scholarships for foreign Doctoral level students and young researchers Application instructions To university departments Background The Centre for International Mobility CIMO awards scholarships for foreign Doctoral level students and young researches to carry out postgraduate studies and research and teaching in Finnish universities. Scholarships are mainly targeted at those Doctoral level students who will be doing their whole Doctorate or Double Doctorate at a Finnish university. Visiting Doctoral level students and researchers who are doing their Doctorate degree at some foreign university can also be considered eligible, provided that the motivation letter of the hosting Finnish university department presents exceptionally good grounds for such an application. (rf. Annex 1. Applicant s motivation letter). The scholarship holder cannot receive another full scholarship nor salary with a CIMO grant. The scholarship programme seeks to increase mobility to Finland, to support the internationalisation of research and teaching and to foster links between Finnish and foreign universities. The scholarship is meant for foreign Doctoral level students/researchers to be invited to Finland or who have not resided in Finland more than 1 year at the time of applying. Applicants Applications can only be submitted by representatives of Finnish universities who wish to host foreign scholarship holders and commit to shared goals with them. While the application is submitted by the host institution, the scholarship is awarded as a personal grant to the foreign postgraduate student or young researcher. Post-doctorate research will not be funded. The applicant should have no more than one application being processed at a time. The number of CIMO Fellowships previously granted to the hosting department may restrict receiving new grants at the same time. Administrative contact person The application should be signed by both the applicant and the university department s administrative liaison, as the department is responsible for any practical arrangements such as payment of grant, study right, accommodation and working space for the duration of the scholarship period. The administrative contact person may refer to, for example, an amanuensis or departmental secretary. Application deadline There is a rolling deadline. Applications must be submitted at least 5 months before the proposed scholarship period. Decisions will be made within approximately 3 months after receipt of application. During the summer months, the processing time is longer.
Application Applications should be submitted on the attached CIMO Fellowships application form, which should be filled in electronically, printed and signed. You can move from field to field using, for example, the tab key. Use your mouse or the space key to select the appropriate option. Open text fields should be filled in the section appearing in grey. Please remember to save the form on your computer before filling it in! The application can be made in Finnish, Swedish or English. Two copies of the application with required attachments should be submitted to CIMO at CIMO, PO Box 343, 00531 Helsinki. Please mark the envelope with CIMO Fellowships. The following attachments are required: 1. Applicant s motivation: take no more than one page to present the motivation for the proposed cooperation, its significance to the host institution, the background for the cooperation and a short description of the research environment. You should also explain the commitment of the host institution to the project and its possible financial support to the scholarship holder, especially if your application is for less than 1,500 per month. A preliminary plan for subsequent funding of proposed research will be required in case the application is submitted in order to begin a doctoral dissertation in Finland (or to continue a doctoral dissertation at its early stages). 2. Complete CV of the scholarship candidate, which should include, for example, any previous visits to Finland, qualifications (a Master s degree is a minimum requirement) and publications. 3. Research plan (3 to 5 pages, including an introduction, objectives, work plan/work methods, expected results and their possible applications. Grant The grant is 1,500 euro/month. The grant is personal and is intended to cover for the subsistence costs of the scholarship holder in Finland. Additional support for accommodation will not be paid nor will CIMO pay travel or visa / residence permit expenses. Trips abroad to collect research materials cannot be included in the scholarship period. Duration of the scholarship period The scholarship period may last from 3 to 12 months. The period may be extended only in exceptional cases. Visits shorter than 3 months will not be funded. Payment of the grant The grant will be paid to the relevant university department. The university will pay the grant to the scholarship holder as a personal grant and will invoice CIMO one month after the end of the scholarship period at the latest. In cases where the scholarship period extends over two calendar years, CIMO should be invoiced each year for the amount paid to the scholarship holder. A budget report should be attached with the invoice. The university must not deduce any general costs from the grant. Practical arrangements The host institution/applicant is responsible for all practical arrangements, such as entry arrangements to Finland, hosting, accommodation, etc. The scholarship holder should attach an invitation letter from the host institute and a copy of CIMO s scholarship decision with their visa / residence permit application. Insurance It is recommended that the host institute makes sure that the scholarship holder will already have an insurance to cover for accidents and acute illnesses when arriving in Finland. CIMO will not pay for the cost of the insurance.
Reporting Within one month after the end of the scholarship period, a representative of the host institution will have to submit a report to CIMO. The form of the report is free and should present the main results achieved during the scholarship period, as well as an estimation of how well the goals were reached. The report should also tell if the scholarship holder continued his/her research in Finland with funding from another source or, for instance, returned to his/her home country.
