The French-Georgian University (FGU) in partnership with the French Institute of Georgia offers three-month scholarships to PhD students of Georgian nationality attached to a Georgian higher education and research institution. These scholarships are intended to finance a research stay in France as part of a host team from a French higher education and research institution.

Applicants are invited to put together a file consisting of the following documents:

Applications must be presented in French or English. They will be judged according to their scientific quality, the feasibility and the relevance of the research stay envisaged for the realization of the research project.

Fluency in French is a plus.

Applications should be sent to the coordinator of the French-Georgian University, Mr. David Teurtrie: david.teurtrie@fgu.ge.
