Available funds

Full-funding

All FONASO doctoral candidates are in principle fully funded from the very start, i.e. the awarded fellowship(s) cover all salary costs and operational costs. However, regarding the latter, individual candidates may want to undertake, in collaboration with their supervisors, additional external fundraising.

 

Salary and operational funds at each FONASO institution

The FONASO institutions, in six European countries, are subject to differences in national legislation and general cost structures. Therefore, salaries and available operational funding varies across the institutions, e.g. due to variation in tax levels.

 

The table below provides an overview of estimated gross and net salary (per month)per doctoral candidate, and an estimate of the available operational funds (per three years). Note that all figures are indicative only.
