A limited number of scholarships will be funded by the
Erasmus Mundus 2009 - 2013 cooperation and mobility programme to allow students
from third world countries to participate in the AstroMundus programme.
AstroMundus is a 2-years Erasmus Mundus Masters Course (120
ECTS) in Astronomy and Astrophysics offered by a consortium of 5 partner
universities in 4 different countries: Austria, Italy, Germany, and Serbia.
Its main objective is to provide top-ranked students with an
excellent background in Astrophysics, to introduce them to the world of modern
astrophysical research, and foster their future career in this field. At the
same time, in the spirit of the Erasmus Mundus programmes, we promote cultural
exchanges between Third Country and European students and academics.
AstroMundus students carry out their master studies in at
least 2 and up to four of these countries, in a stimulating and scientifically
excellent international environment.
The scholarships cover the registration fees (including the
insurance), include a contribution to travel, installation and any other type
of costs of 8000 €, and a monthly allowance of 1000 €/month for the whole
duration of the Masters Course (24 months).

procedures can be found at http://www.astromundus.eu/
