PhDour score
The AFR PhD grant scheme is subdivided into two categories to which AFR applicants can apply:
AFR PhD in Luxembourg (AFR Incoming), i.e. candidates from any nationality may apply for a doctoral position in an eligible Luxembourg host institution. Candidates will have to spend >50% in Luxembourg under an employment contract with the host institution;
AFR PhD abroad (AFR Outgoing): Luxembourg nationals, or residents in Luxembourg for more than 5 consecutive years, may apply for a doctoral position in a public higher education institution abroad. The rule for this type of AFR grants is an employment contract with the institution abroad, but in exceptional cases, stipends without a work contract can be awarded.

- Eligibility criterion for “AFR Outgoing”: PhD candidates are eligible for support of their doctoral project outside Luxembourg if they are either Luxembourg nationals or if they are living in Luxembourg since at least 5 years (residence certificate to be submitted with the application).
