Would you like to do a short-term research exchange at one of our partner universities? IDEA League offers more than 180 monthly grants for bachelor’s and master’s students as well as PhD candidates to do just that. These grants, awarded based on academic merit, are generally €300 – €600 per month depending on the home university of the applicant and the anticipated living costs at the hosting university. Research exchanges from 2 weeks to 6 months are covered, with strong preference given to short-time periods.

To qualify for a short-term research exchange grant you must be affiliated with one of the IDEA League partner universities.

Work with your supervisor to define a project and find the most suitable partner, with consideration to existing contacts and cooperation within the IDEA League. Your supervisor should be the one to make contact with the academic at the chosen IDEA League partner university.

The partner universities will provide all of the information you need on the application procedures. For further information click the respective partner university here: TU Delft, ETH Zurich, RWTH Aachen, Chalmers and Politecnico di Milano.

We welcome any proposal that will contribute to stimulating and strengthening the cooperation between IDEA League partners.

The Operations Board of the IDEA League, which selects which projects will be funded, meets just a few times a year. For that reason, applications should be handed in well in advance considering two deadlines: 15 September and 15 March.

To qualify for this fund you must be affiliated with one of the IDEA League partner universities.
