Funding

Some fellowship salaries or stipends are funded by the professorial chair or research grants. Other fellowships are not funded, and require the fellows to provide for their own living expenses.

For all fellowships, funded or unfunded, all fellows are required to demonstrate that they have adequate funds to support their living expenses during their time in Brussels.
