Frequently asked questions
Do I need a research project to apply?
For PhD and research, yes, often with an identified supervisor. For a master’s, a well-argued motivation letter usually suffices.
Do funders favour certain topics?
Yes: food security, climate adaptation and local resources come up often in calls.
Does my biology degree count?
Often, if your project clearly links your background to agriculture. Each fiche lists the admitted disciplines.
