Post by Luxembourg National Research Fund (FNR)

Three routes to the #PhD - A closer look at FNR’s doctoral funding landscape: Since 2008, over 2,200 PhD candidates have received FNR funding, with around 41% being women, 15% holding Luxembourgish nationality, 21% originating from neighbouring countries (Benelux region, France, and Germany), and 62% coming from the wider international community, altogether representing 99 different nationalities. These figures illustrate the international character of Luxembourgish research landscape and how FNR’s funding instruments support both the development of local research talent and the internationalisation of the national research system. Over the years, three main pathways have emerged for obtaining FNR support to pursue a doctorate:  1️⃣AFR and Industrial Fellowships – Candidate-Driven Pathways  2️⃣PRIDE/IPBG – Structured Doctoral Training and Talent Attraction 3️⃣Research Projects – Embedded PhD Positions  https://lnkd.in/eq2tiUNu Cindy Lopes Bento; Bidel Flavie; Andreea Monnat; Martine REICHERTS; University of Luxembourg; Luxembourg Institute of Socio-Economic Research (LISER); Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology (LIST); Luxembourg Institute of Health; EURAXESS Luxembourg; Research Luxembourg
