Santiago-Heidelberg
Doctoral Exchange Fellowship
since 2011
The Institute of Astrophysics at the Pontificia Universidad Catolica and the Department of Astronomy of the University of Heidelberg set up a joint Ph.D. degree program in astronomy and astrophysics based on the existing Ph.D. programs at both universities.
The program is intended to develop a lively exchange between the two university departments, offer seminars, summer schools, and symposia, as well as workshops at both universities, foster and develop new joint research projects and stimulate new inter-department programs. Graduate students from each university are offered an graduate student exchange fellowship in astrophysics to spend time working at the partner university. During that time the students will be full members of the research staff with all corresponding rights.
