Travel grants for doctoral students

Doctoral candidates at SLU may apply for various types of travel grants to participate in courses and other educational activities. Periods spent in new research environments enhance both personal and academic development by providing access to new expertise, methods and perspectives, while also fostering international contacts for future collaborations and career opportunities.

Travel grants for travels outside Sweden

SLU offers travel grants to support the internationalisation of doctoral education. Doctoral students may apply for travel grants for study visits or for participation in courses or conferences outside Sweden. Newly graduated researchers may apply for funding to prepare for a postdoctoral placement.

Travel grants for participation in SLU or Nova courses

Travel grants for participation in SLU’s own doctoral courses held at locations other than the student’s home campus, as well as for participation in doctoral courses organised within the Nova network.

Other international opportunities for doctoral students at SLU

Doctoral students at SLU may take courses at foreign higher education institutions with which SLU has established agreements, or apply for an Erasmus+ grant to participate in staff or teaching exchanges.

About scholarships

Doctoral students do not receive scholarships from SLU but from an external funding body, and the agreements made between those parties apply. Scholarships awarded by SLU are regulated through a decision by the Vice‑Chancellor. These rules apply to scholarships funded by external financiers.
