Launch of the Co-funded Doctoral Scholarship Program

In addition to the existing scholarship programs Tahtawi, Eiffel, as well as the STDF and ASRT, co-financed with Egyptian partners, the French Embassy in Egypt and the Egyptian Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research have launched a new doctoral scholarship program for 2025.

This co-funded program between France and Egypt aims to support the mobility of PhD students enrolled in Egyptian universities or research centers who wish to undertake a research stay in France.

Three formats are available :

· Joint supervision (cotutelle): up to 3 stays of 6 months — dual PhD enrollment in Egypt and France, leading to a double degree.

· Co-supervision (codirection): up to 2 stays of 6 months — PhD conducted in Egypt with joint supervision from a researcher in France.

· Research stay up to 1 stay of 6 months — short-term mobility in a laboratory in France as part of a PhD conducted at an Egyptian university.
