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.
- Applicants must be no more than 40 years of age.
- Applicants must have at least 2 years' professional experience as a teacher, assistant lecturer or researcher in a university or recognised research institute.
- The area of research must be accepted by a sponsor in Belgium and a local sponsor.
- In the case of a medical specialisation, the Académies Royales de Médecine must give their agreement.

A subsistence allowance is awarded to the grant-holder of 800 EUR/month.
A removal allowance is paid to grant-holders when they first arrive in Belgium.

Grant-holders have third-party liability insurance and their "health care" costs are covered.
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
