Laureates 2026 of GPR BRAIN_2030 extension grants

The GPR BRAIN_2030 offers to PhD students from Bordeaux Neurocampus a fellowship to complete their PhD thesis work, either before or after the defense. The fellowship aims at funding either a fourth year of PhD, or a few months of post-doctoral contract equivalent to a maximum of one year’s thesis salary, covering up a period to finish projects before leaving the lab.

The applications were evaluated by the coordinators and the co-coordinators of the sub-projects and the tranverse axis of the GPR.
