Potential applicants are asked to review carefully both the eligibility requirements and the current research field descriptions (found at the
web site) to assess into which research field, if any, their project might fit best.
Please note that this competition is unrestricted by citizenship; international students may apply so long as they are otherwise eligible.
The Office of Graduate Fellowships is available to advise students applying to this competition and offer feedback on written proposals.
