Romania Foreign Researchers Fellowships 2026 for PhD Candidates and Academics (€5,000 Grant)

The Romania Foreign Researchers Fellowships 2026 offers a unique opportunity for PhD candidates and established academics whose research intersects with Romanian culture, society, or related fields. Selected researchers will receive €5,000 to support a three-month research stay in Romania, allowing them to engage directly with local academic and cultural institutions.

This fellowship is designed for niche academic work, focusing on areas such as visual arts, architecture, literature, economic sciences, and social sciences. It provides a valuable chance to access resources and networks that are otherwise difficult to reach, making it an excellent opportunity for those with a clear research proposal and recent academic publications.

Open to PhD students and established researchers with relevant academic output. Applicants must provide two strong academic recommendation letters and have recent publications in recognized academic journals. A structured research proposal and work plan are required.
