On May 23, 2007, the Government of Romania, following the commitment made at the 11th Francophonie Summit (Bucharest, September 2006), adopted a decree for the creation of a system of doctoral and postdoctoral scholarships, entitled ” Eugen Ionescu “. This program is aimed at foreign doctoral students and teacher-researchers who want to do a research internship in higher education institutions in Romania, members of the Agence universitaire de la Francophonie.

The “Eugen Ionescu” program is funded by the Government of Romania, through the Romanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The effective management of these grants is coordinated by the Agence universitaire de la Francophonie, whose experience in this type of program is internationally recognized.

Objectives:

“Eugen Ionescu” mobility takes place within the network of AUF member establishments. They take French-speaking teachers and / or researchers outside their country, allowing them to improve their skills in the member universities of the Agence universitaire de la Francophonie in Romania.

These forms of mobility fall within disciplinary fields deemed to be priorities for the development of the country of origin and consistent with the research interests of the host establishments.
