A call for grant applications to complete a doctoral degree for the doctoral researchers of the Doctoral Programme in Exact Sciences was open from 27 February to 23 March 2023.

The grant could be applied for by a person who is in the final stages of completing a doctoral degree with an active study right to pursue a doctoral degree at the University of Turku in Doctoral Programme in Exact Sciences (EXACTUS). The EXACTUS grant for completing a doctoral degree can be received only once.

The EXACTUS Steering Committee has decided to award a grant for completing a doctoral degree to the following doctoral researchers:

• Nasrin Talebpour Sheshvan, 2 months
• Lange Saleh, 2 months

During the grant period, the doctoral researcher is assumed to complete the postgraduate studies still possibly required for the doctoral degree and/or finalise the dissertation manuscript so that it can be submitted for pre-examination. The grant for completing a doctoral degree requires full-time working/studying. The grant cannot be received at the same time with earned income from the University of Turku, full-time work by another employer, or another working grant. The grant recipient commits to reporting on their progress to the EXACTUS Coordinator within four weeks of the end of the grant period.

If the situation of the applicant is changed so that the abovementioned conditions are no longer fulfilled, the grant recipient must inform the Coordinator without delay.

A call for travel grant applications for the doctoral researchers of the Doctoral Programme in Exact Sciences was open from 27 February 2023 to 23 March 2023.

The travel grant could be applied for a conference, a (summer) school or a research visit. The travelling grant could also be applied for participating in an online conference or online (summer) school.

If the target of the travel grant is a conference and the doctoral researcher does not have an accepted talk/poster/article in the conference proceedings yet, the travel grant is conditional. The doctoral researcher is awarded the grant, provided the talk, poster or article in the conference proceedings becomes accepted: the acceptance must be proved before the usage of the grant by forwarding the acceptance email to the EXACTUS Coordinator.

If the travelling/participation situation changes, please inform the Coordinator as soon as possible.
