Leírás
The HUN-REN Alfréd Rényi Institute of Mathematics is seeking applicants, preferably EU citizens, for Rényi Doctoral Fellowships in mathematics. The aim of the fellowship is to complement the doctoral fellowship provided by the Mathematics Doctoral Schools of Eötvös Loránd University (ELTE) or the Technical University (BME) in Budapest, and only available to students who are enrolled into one of these two PhD programs and start their studies in the academic year 2026-27. (The decision regarding this fellowship will be conditional, and comes into effect upon acceptance to one of the aforementioned graduate programs.)
For the specific requirements and the application procedures at these schools see: https://www.math.elte.hu/en/studies/phd/? (ELTE)
and
http://doktori.math.bme.hu/english/index-E.html (BME).
The applicants are expected to show outstanding track record during their undergraduate/Masters studies. The fellowship is typically for one year, with a possible extension to the entire four years of doctoral studies based on satisfactory progress, but can be awarded for the entire four-year period of study from the beginning under exceptional circumstances. The fellowship starts on September 1, 2026, and cannot be provided to students receiving either UNKP, KDP, or other major Hungarian scholarship. The amount of the fellowship is at most 312.500 HUF/month (in addition to the standard doctoral scholarship at ELTE or BME). In the academic year 2026-27 at most three fellowships will be handed out.
