Welcome to the IDS-FunMat website.

We offer ERASMUS MUNDUS PhD scholarships for European and 'third country' candidates.

We are open for applications, and the application deadline is 20 February 2010.

IDS-FunMat is an International Doctoral Programme in Functional Materials funded by the ERASMUS MUNDUS Programme of the European Union.

Our school offers scholarships for PhD projects in Functional Materials Science, carried out in co-supervision between universities from two different countries (see list of partners). In most projects an industry partner is also involved. The PhD candidates must spend at least 6 months in each university. The projects start around October and take 3-4 years.

The European Union finances each year a number of ERASMUS MUNDUS PhD scholarships in our school, and in addition we have PhD projects funded by other sources.

Visitors can find more information in the menu items on the left.

Applicants should read carefully the page 'Infos for Applicants'.

Members of the project must login in order to access internal data and documents.
(Note: The Register facility is NOT for project members; please contact the coordinator to obtain a login)
