Scholarship Description:
The European Brain Council's study of the economic burden of brain disorders showed that 12 major neurological diseases cost the European economy and national health systems nearly 400 billion euros in 2004, and that brain disorders affected 127 million Europeans in 2006 (European Journal of Neuroscience, Vol 33, p 767, 2011).

Research programs at the forefront of neuroscience will have direct biomedical applications that improve quality of life for many people and address socio-economic challenges.

NeuroTime students' scholarships are awarded exclusively for a full-time enrolment in one of the projects. On an individual basis. This might be changed due to maternity leave, chronic illness, etc.

Students benefiting from an Erasmus Mundus Joint Doctorate scholarship cannot benefit from another European Community grant while pursuing their Erasmus Mundus PhD studies.
