The Microsoft Research European PhD Scholarship Programme is aimed at recognising and supporting exceptional students who show the potential to make an outstanding contribution to science.

The programme will support students in computing and those working at the intersection of computing and the sciences, including biology, chemistry and physics.

Eligibility

Any European national student who has been accepted by a university in Europe to start a PhD or who will have completed no more than one year of their PhD by October 2006, is eligible.

Application process

Applications are on a competitive basis and we anticipate a high level of demand for scholarships. We are unable to accept applications from students directly: applications will only be accepted through a student’s Institution (e.g., supervisor, departmental secretary, etc.) and we will usually only consider one application per university department or per laboratory of a national research institution. We will consider no more than one application per supervisor. Joint applications by two supervisors from different disciplines are encouraged, but not essential.
