Mobility Scholarships
NEURO Graduate Programme
Deadline Application: November 10, 2026
We are pleased to announce the launch of the mobility scholarship program for students enrolled in GI NEURO programs who wish to complete their M1 internship in a laboratory abroad and gain international experience.
About the GI NEURO :
The GI NEURO aims to train students in the field of Neurosciences. These scholarships are intended for students who wish to complete their first-year Master’s internship outside of France.
Scholarship Amount:
The scholarship amount is €1,000 per month for 7 weeks, for a total of €1,750 per scholarship recipient.
Eligibility Criteria:
Applicants should be currently enrolled in the M1 Neurosciences program in Lyon (UCBL) and be willing to join a team outside France. For foreign students, the laboratory should not be located in their home country.
Applicants should set up the research program to be carried out during the stay. This program must be proposed in agreement with the Head of the M1 Neurosciences program and the person in charge of the implementation of the project in the host laboratory.
Students who obtained a GI NEURO fellowship in previous years are eligible, but their candidature will be treated as low priority.
Award Criteria:
Applications will be evaluated based on three criteria (each rated on an ABC scale):
Academic excellence (50%): e.g. grades and ranking.
Experience (30%): e.g. relevance and feasibility of the project, previous internships, added value for the student.
Motivation (20%): e.g. relevance of career plan, motivations for joining the research environment abroad.
A score of C in any of the sections will be disqualifying. The remaining applicants will be ranked in order of merit, and the top-ranked applicants will be awarded the scholarship, subject to the limits of available funds. Next will be assigned to a waiting list.
The selection committee will include:
