Scientific stays for PhD students

Procedures to benefit from this program

The application will come from the doctoral student.

The Foundation will take over the cost of transportation and accommodation, with receipts, depending on the destination.The doctoral student should also seek other sources of funding (e.g. laboratory, doctoral school, etc.).

Regarding the costs of PhD students' stays as part of the compulsory mobility of COFUND program MathInParis2020: the request must be made to their laboratory/doctoral school. In exceptional circumstances, PhD students may apply to the FSMP for assistance after having provided proof that their laboratory/doctoral school is not financing their stay.

The application file will include :

• a curriculum vitae of the doctoral student, including a list of publications,
• the scientific research program of the stay,
• a letter from the scientific director of the external host laboratory,
• a reasoned opinion from the thesis director,
• the visa of the doctoral student's laboratory director,
• a document justifying at least one other application for funding and the response obtained (for example, a copy of an e-mail),
• a financial plan (estimate of the cost of the stay to be borne by the FSMP).
