CIMO Fellowships
Scholarships for foreign Doctoral level students and young
researchers
Application instructions
To university departments
Background
The Centre for International Mobility CIMO awards scholarships for foreign Doctoral level
students and young researches to carry out postgraduate studies and research and
teaching in Finnish universities. Scholarships are mainly targeted at those
Doctoral level students who will be doing their whole Doctorate or Double
Doctorate at a Finnish university. Visiting Doctoral level students and researchers
who are doing their Doctorate degree at some foreign university can also be considered
eligible, provided that the motivation letter of the hosting Finnish university department
presents exceptionally good grounds for such an application. (rf. Annex 1. Applicant’s
motivation letter). The scholarship holder cannot receive another full scholarship nor
salary with a CIMO grant.
The scholarship programme seeks to increase mobility to Finland, to support the
internationalisation of research and teaching and to foster links between Finnish and
foreign universities. The scholarship is meant for foreign Doctoral level
students/researchers to be invited to Finland or who have not resided in
Finland more than 1 year at the time of applying.
Applicants
Applications can only be submitted by representatives of Finnish universities who wish
to host foreign scholarship holders and commit to shared goals with them. While the
application is submitted by the host institution, the scholarship is awarded as a personal
grant to the foreign postgraduate student or young researcher. Post-doctorate research
will not be funded. The applicant should have no more than one application being
processed at a time. The number of CIMO Fellowships previously granted to the hosting
department may restrict receiving new grants at the same time.
Administrative contact person
The application should be signed by both the applicant and the university department’s
administrative liaison, as the department is responsible for any practical arrangements –
such as payment of grant, study right, accommodation and working space – for the
duration of the scholarship period. The administrative contact person may refer to, for
example, an amanuensis or departmental secretary.
Application deadline
There is a rolling deadline. Applications must be submitted at least 5 months before the
proposed scholarship period. Decisions will be made within approximately 3 months
after receipt of application. During the summer months, the processing time is longer.
CIMO 9/2014
Application
Applications should be submitted on the attached CIMO Fellowships application form,
which should be filled in electronically, printed and signed. You can move from field to
field using, for example, the tab key. Use your mouse or the space key to select the
appropriate option. Open text fields should be filled in the section appearing in grey.
Please remember to save the form on your computer before filling it in! The application
can be made in Finnish, Swedish or English.
Two copies of the application with required attachments should be submitted to CIMO
at CIMO, PO Box 343, 00531 Helsinki. Please mark the envelope with “CIMO
Fellowships”.
The following attachments are required:
1. Applicant’s motivation: take no more than one page to present the motivation for
the proposed cooperation, its significance to the host institution, the background for the
cooperation and a short description of the research environment. You should also
explain the commitment of the host institution to the project and its possible financial
support to the scholarship holder, especially if your application is for less than €1,500
per month. A preliminary plan for subsequent funding of proposed research will be
required in case the application is submitted in order to begin a doctoral dissertation in
Finland (or to continue a doctoral dissertation at its early stages).
2. Complete CV of the scholarship candidate, which should include, for example,
any previous visits to Finland, qualifications (a Master’s degree is a minimum
requirement) and publications.
3. Research plan (3 to 5 pages, including an introduction, objectives, work plan/work
methods, expected results and their possible applications.
Grant
The grant is 1,500 euro/month. The grant is personal and is intended to cover for the
subsistence costs of the scholarship holder in Finland. Additional support for
accommodation will not be paid nor will CIMO pay travel or visa / residence permit
expenses. Trips abroad to collect research materials cannot be included in the
scholarship period.
Duration of the scholarship period
The scholarship period may last from 3 to 12 months. The period may be extended only
in exceptional cases. Visits shorter than 3 months will not be funded.
Payment of the grant
The grant will be paid to the relevant university department. The university will pay the
grant to the scholarship holder as a personal grant and will invoice CIMO one month
after the end of the scholarship period at the latest. In cases where the scholarship
period extends over two calendar years, CIMO should be invoiced each year for the
amount paid to the scholarship holder. A budget report should be attached with the
invoice. The university must not deduce any general costs from the grant.
Practical arrangements
The host institution/applicant is responsible for all practical arrangements, such as entry
arrangements to Finland, hosting, accommodation, etc. The scholarship holder should
attach an invitation letter from the host institute and a copy of CIMO’s scholarship
decision with their visa / residence permit application.
Insurance
It is recommended that the host institute makes sure that the scholarship holder will
already have an insurance to cover for accidents and acute illnesses when arriving in
Finland. CIMO will not pay for the cost of the insurance.
CIMO 9/2014
Reporting
Within one month after the end of the scholarship period, a representative of the host
institution will have to submit a report to CIMO. The form of the report is free and
should present the main results achieved during the scholarship period, as well as an
estimation of how well the goals were reached. The report should also tell if the
scholarship holder continued his/her research in Finland with funding from another
source or, for instance, returned to his/her home country.
