The laboratories are expected to consider the students awarded such a grant as high potential candidates for thesis funding (in line with the LUE 2023 doctoral contract campaign for example, without however giving priority to candidates selected in this call) or co-funding of a co-tutored thesis with the partner in question.

The research internships can last 4 to 6 months. If the internship is carried out in a restricted access laboratory (ZRR), the internship supervisor will have to take into account the additional time needed to examine the student’s application, which impacts the starting date of the internship and access to the laboratory premises.

The funding for the Master Grants includes :

• A stipend for a 4-6 month internship of €1000 per month
• Financial support of €1000 for return travel.

Successful applicants will receive a maximum stipend of €7000
