Haldor Topsøe, a world leader in catalysis and surface science, is pleased to announce the continuation of its Russian PhD Scholarship Programme within: “Heterogeneous Catalysis and Related Materials”.
Topsøe intends to award up to 5 PhD scholarships in 2015. They will include:
• A grant of 300 EURO per month
• Participation in one scientific conference in Europe of own choice
• A trainee period at Haldor Topsøe’s facilities in Denmark
The grants will start on the 1 July 2015 and continue until the PhD thesis is completed or for a period of maximum 2 years. During the grant period, Topsøe will cover the fee of one scientific conference within Europe. Topsøe will cover economy class fare, provide accommodation plus a living allowance of 50 EURO per day during the conference trip and the traineeship at Topsøe’s headquarters. The travel arrangements have to be made through Topsøe Moscow Office.
To qualify for a Topsøe PhD scholarship, the applicant must:
• be enrolled as a PhD-student at a Russian University or Research Institution and have completed at least half an academic year of the PhD study;
• work on a PhD thesis within “Heterogeneous Catalysis and Related Materials”, preferably related to Topsøe’s business areas (see below);
• be fluent in English, in order to get full benefit from the conference trip and the trainee period at Topsøe’s headquarters;
• be a citizen of the Russian Federation.
The winners of the PhD scholarships will be selected by an international jury committee, consisting of renowned university professors and scientists within the field of catalysis. The winners will be selected on the basis of scientific merits. Should several of the applicants be rated equally by the committee, preference will be given to the applicants whose work is of most relevance to Topsøe’s business areas.
