Université Senghor Opportunities

Université Senghor's 2026 Interdisciplinary Doctoral School invites projects contributing to African and Haitian development. The two highest-ranked candidates for the two specified scholarship topics receive full doctoral scholarships. The university states that scholarship recipients can receive a monthly allowance for three years plus a support budget for research work, scientific meetings and stays in partner laboratories. Doctoral training requires periods in Alexandria of about three to four months each year, with scholarship recipients generally expected to be based mainly in Alexandria outside fieldwork periods.

Scholarship applicants must hold a Master 2 or equivalent, be a national of a Francophone African country or Haiti, reside mainly in Francophone Africa or Haiti, and be no older than 40 when submitting. Scholarship candidates must propose work on one of the two specified topics: African health autonomy and endogenous resources/knowledge, or management, governance and financing of the informal circular economy in urban Africa.
