IUC SOUTH-EAST EUROPEAN SCHOLARSHIP FUND
We are currently running a temporary fundraising campaign for the South-East European Scholarship fund
For many students from South-East Europe, scholarships like Erasmus+ are not available. Therefore, joining international academic programmes isn't easy. Our goal is to offer twenty PhD-students a scholarship of €750 in 2025, so that they can participate in valuable academic exchange.

MORE ON THE IUC SOUTH-EAST EUROPEAN SCHOLARSHIP FUND
With 60 courses and conferences a year for 2000 participants, the IUC serves as a bridge between academic communities within Europe and beyond. These courses offer low-threshold access to high-level international academic exchange. In doing so, the IUC has played for more than 50 years an important role in the internationalisation of research and higher education in the SE European region.
In order to be as inclusive as possible and to ensure participation from all corners of Europe, the IUC’s South-East European Scholarship fund is supporting students and staff members who are lacking support from their national governments, the Erasmus program, or their own institutions. For those participants, a South-East European Scholarship grant is available as a contribution to their travel and accommodation costs.
The South-East European Scholarship Fund needs your support to keep up its work. We therefore kindly ask all friends of the IUC - new and former lecturers, participants, and all who support the IUC mission - to donate to this fund. Help us to contribute to a more inclusive academic community in which the South-East European region is firmly able to participate. Your support is highly appreciated.”
