The scholarship component of APPEAR aims to promote students and professionals employed at a higher education institution in the eligible countries, to complete a master’s or PhD programme at an Austrian higher education institution. The studies are expected to be in line with the thematic focus of the programme and also within the context of regional and national development strategies of the respective countries thereby contributing to poverty reduction. The relevance of capacity development for the home institution has to be clearly outlined in the application and confirmed by the respective human resources manager.
The studies enable the scholarship holders to contribute to the improvement of higher education and research in their home countries and institutions. They are involved in academic partnerships and / or will contribute to further establishment of academic partnerships.
