Estonian Government scholarship program for applicants from the Kingdom of Denmark for the academic year 2012-2013
In accordance with the agreement on Co-operation between the Ministry of Education and Research of the Republic of Estonia and the Danish Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation, Archimedes Foundation takes great pleasure to publish an open call for the following scholarships in academic year 2012-2013:
1. Long-term grants for study-visits of university teachers, lectors and researchers;
2. Long-term grants for students of Bachelor and Master and Doctoral study programs at public higher education institutions for study visits.
Long-term scholarships for students are granted for period of 1-10 months. The period of a long-term visit of teachers, lectors and researches has to be more than 21 days. The study or research visits must take place from September 2012 to July 2013. The scholarships are intended for citizens of Denmark studying or working at the institutions of their home country.
Description of the scholarship:
- the scholarship is open to students from all fields of studies;
- the study or research visits must take place from September 2012 to July 2013;

- scholarships entitle the exchange students to exemption from tuition fees at PUBLIC higher institutions of Estonia;
- the scholarship does not lead to the awarding of a degree from the Estonian institution. However, credits awarded during the scholarship MAY count towards the study undertaken in the home country (applicants should check with their home institution). In exceptional cases the scholarship can be awarded to a student in degree-studies but in that case it is important to keep in mind that the student this scholarship will not cover the tuition fee to pay the tuition fees;
