Grants
CIRAD can provide financial support to PhD and post-doc students, researchers from partner organizations and professionals, to enable them to satisfy their training or skill-building requirements.
Each year, CIRAD devotes a substantial budget to training PhD and post-doc students and researchers from partner organizations. The funds may be used for individual training or to organize collective training courses aimed at building skills in developing countries.
Calls for applications are issued annually. Applications for grants must be made through one of CIRAD's research units or support services.
In addition, various international, European and French donors offer financial support to enable scientists from developing countries to take certificate courses, continue their PhD or post-doc studies or benefit from a stay in a research team in order to build their skills.
