CICOPS Scholarships 2027 in Italy

About the CICOPS Scholarship Program

The CICOPS Scholarships Program is a prestigious fully funded research opportunity offered by the University of Pavia in collaboration with EDISU. The program promotes international cooperation with developing countries by enabling researchers to conduct collaborative work at one of Italy's oldest universities.

Scholars submit research proposals that are evaluated by CICOPS. If the project aligns with ongoing research activities at the university, the proposal is forwarded to the relevant department where scholars work directly with university professors.

For other fully funded international opportunities, explore the Queen Elizabeth Commonwealth Scholarships for study in Commonwealth countries.
