FUNDING OPTIONS
Erasmus+ training opportunities
If you are staff at an eligible higher education institution, you can apply for Erasmus+ training at the University of Zagreb Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, which is the receiving organization for the course “Sexuality and Sexual Health in the 21st century”. This grant provides a contribution to your costs for travel and subsistence during your time abroad.
The application must be submitted by your institution. If accepted to the course, please contact the international or Erasmus+ office of your higher education institution as soon as possible to initiate the signing of the Mobility agreement between your institution and the University of Zagreb Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences.
Erasmus+ short-term doctoral mobility
If you are not eligible for Erasmus+ training, you may find your Erasmus+ options for short-term doctoral mobility more limited as they may depend on the existence of a pre-existing agreement between your institution and the University of Zagreb Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences (you can refer to your institution’s list of partner universities to find out if this is the case). In order to investigate your options, it is best to inquire directly at the international or Erasmus+ office of your higher education institution.

Students from Croatian higher education and scientific institutions are eligible for the IUC scholarship by the Croatian Ministry of Science and Education. Scholarships are covering travel expenses in Croatia (mostly return plane ticket) and half board accommodation during the stay in Dubrovnik.

If accepted to the course and there are places available, you will be informed by the course directors on how to apply for this scholarship.
Students from South-East Europe may be eligible for IUC South-East European Scholarships. Scholarships are covering half board accommodation during the stay in Dubrovnik.
