FIG Research Grants and PhD Scholarships


I just came across this bursary opportunity in the South African Geomatics Journal, http://www.sajg.org.za/index.php/sajg


"The Federation International des Geometres (FIG) will provide research grants and PhD scholarships through the FIG Foundation. In summary:
FIG Foundation Academic Research Grant
The FIG Foundation will be providing research grants of up to 20,000 euros spread over two years.
Applicants shall:
  • be based in a surveying/geomatics academic programme that teaches surveying in a country listed by the World Bank as a low-income, lower-middle or upper-middle income economy
  • have an established record of published research - at least two articles in good quality internationally recognised peer reviewed journals serves as a useful guideline, and
  • have experience in managing postgraduate students.
Applications will be judged on the quality of the application and need. In the event that two excellent applications are judged to be of equal quality, applications from low-income and lower-middle income countries will be preferred.
