Description

These are grants awarded for study or training undertaken in the country of origin or in a partner country or in a country where there is a Belgian cooperation representative (attaché or BTC). All areas are eligible, but preference is given to projects which strengthen institutional expertise.

The study and training grants of the DGD in Belgium are funded in the context of government-to-government cooperation agreements. This is known as direct bilateral cooperation. Approximately 120 grants are awarded each year. Priority will be given to study or training in one of the areas focused on by Belgian cooperation.

There are 4 types of grant: grants to study in Belgium, grants to train in Belgium, local grants and mixed doctorates.

Eligibility

  • Applicants must be nationals of one of the Belgian cooperation partner countries.
  • The study or training must be related to the professional activity of the applicant.
  • Applicants must have completed at least one year of an academic curriculum.
  • You are normally required to take an English Proficiency Test if you come from a non-English speaking country.

    Most European Universities recognise the IELTS test. More information

    Benefits

    Travel costs are covered. A subsistence and equipment allowance is also awarded.

    Application information

    The BTC (Belgian Technical Cooperation) welcomes students on arrival in Belgium and follows their progress during their stay. However, it does not award grants. There is therefore is no point in contacting its personnel until you are sure that you have been awarded a grant.

    It is essential that applications are made to the representatives of Belgium in the country of origin of the grant applicant. Standard forms are available from Belgian cooperation attachés in the partner countries.

    A Cooperation Attaché is present in each Belgian representative office (Belgian Embassy or Consulate) in Belgian governmental cooperation partner countries.
