Bulgaria: Research and teaching stays for university teachers

The offer of research and teaching stays abroad for academic staff of universities in Czechia is based on contractual obligations between the Czechia and the partner country. Applicants choose the university they wish to study at in the context of their academic field.

In the first phase, applicants apply to the Czech partner – the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports of the Czech Republic (MoEYS). They submit an online scholarship application with the required attachments in Czech by the deadline (see below). The MoEYS will confirm whether the applicant will be included in the list of nominated candidates. In order for a decision to be made, the nominated candidate must obtain a letter of acceptance from the foreign host university. The final decision on the acceptance of the nominated candidate rests with the foreign partner. Final results of the application proceedings will be announced by the foreign partner at the end of May. Information on the duration of the stay, number of scholarships awarded, applicant requirements and other conditions are given in the offer details.

The scholarships are funded by the Ministry of Education and Science of Bulgaria.
