Each year, the French Embassy in Israel funds Israeli students and researchers for research stays in France — across all disciplines.
Since 1988, the French government has funded the Chateaubriand Fellowships Program to encourage the mobility and exchange of Israeli students and young researchers to France. Thanks to this program, more than 400 Israeli students and scientists have had the opportunity to pursue research in France.
Far from being simple grant holders, Chateaubriand fellows benefit from many advantages: social security, access to university restaurants, lodging on campus and more — and are advised by the French Consulate on the conditions of entry and stay in France.
Open to Israeli scientists currently studying for a Ph.D. or who have completed one, to carry out research in a French university, school of engineering or public research laboratory — for a period of 4 to 6 months, non-renewable.
Who was François-René de Chateaubriand? A French writer, politician, diplomat and historian (1768–1848), considered the founder of Romanticism in French literature. The fellowship carries his name as a symbol of French letters and diplomacy.
Want to do research at the National Library of France? Study philosophy in Paris? Each year, the French Embassy grants Israeli students and researchers one-year scholarships to study (Master, Ph.D.) or carry out research (Post-Doc) in a French institution.
All disciplines of humanities (philosophy, literature, history, theory of art…) and social sciences (sociology, law, economics, communication…) are eligible.
