Evaluation and selection
A decision will be taken by a Committee composed of the President of the Scientific and Technical Committee of CICOPS and by two members designated by the University Rector by July 20th 2011. The Committee will rank the candidates and the scholarships will be assigned according to a principle of rotation among the Departments/Faculties.
Terms and conditions
The scholarships will be assigned according to the following conditions:
a) Selected scholars must confirm acceptance of the scholarship and of its conditions within 20 days of receipt of the written communication of their successful applications. If the candidates fail to confirm acceptance, they will lose the right to the scholarship and the next scholar in the ranking will be contacted.
b) Scholars will sign a declaration of acceptance of the scholarship indicating the precise period of stay and providing all required information for scholarship payment.
c) Once the declaration of acceptance of the scholarship has been received, the University will:
- pay the scholarship in a single instalment upon the scholar’s arrival in Pavia
- cover costs associated with travel, board and lodging and permits of stay
- indicate the University College for the period of residence;
- provide a card for meals at a University canteen;
- guarantee access to all the necessary facilities during the period of stay – libraries, computer facilities etc. – including all services of the Department/Faculty to which the scholar is associated.
The University will provide insurance against accidents, but the scholars will have to take care of their own health insurance before leaving their country of origin.
About CICOPS scholarships
In 1996, the Technical-Scientific Committee of CICOPS approved a scholarship project aimed at fostering research collaboration between academics from developing countries and the University of Pavia. The scholarships were designed for both junior and senior members of universities in developing countries or members of major research centres and international organizations with specific interests in the field of development studies. Since 1998, the University of Pavia and the Institute for University Studies (EDiSU) have offered about ten scholarships yearly for a four to ten week stay in Pavia, during which time the scholars carry out joint research with professors in the department that hosts them and often hold seminars. As of 2011, about 150 scholarships had been awarded to academics from 40 different countries to carry out research in Pavia.
