BRICS STI Framework Programme Research Studentships

The BRICS STI Framework Programme Research Studentships offer a unique opportunity for postgraduate students from BRICS countries to engage in collaborative research projects in science, technology, and innovation. These studentships are part of the broader BRICS Science, Technology and Innovation (STI) Framework Programme, which aims to foster multilateral research cooperation among Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa. The programme supports PhD students and early-career researchers to work on joint projects addressing global challenges such as climate change, food security, and sustainable energy. Successful applicants receive funding for travel, living expenses, and research costs, allowing them to spend time at partner institutions in other BRICS nations. The studentships are highly competitive and require a strong research proposal aligned with the programme’s thematic priorities. Applications typically open in early 2026, with deadlines varying by participating country. This initiative not only advances scientific knowledge but also strengthens diplomatic and academic ties within the BRICS bloc. For detailed eligibility criteria, application procedures, and country-specific guidelines, visit the official BRICS STI website or contact your national funding agency. Don’t miss this chance to contribute to cutting-edge international research.
