GRAL Master 2 research scolarship program for 2023-2024

In the framework of the recently funded EUR “Grenoble Graduate School in Chemistry, Biology and Health” (CBH-EUR-GS), the LABEX-GRAL funds Master 2 research scholarships. in GRAL labs of the IRIG institute (IBS, BCI, BGE, CBM, and PCV).
The amount of the scholarship is 5000 € paid during the 1st semester and an internship grant (‘gratification de stage‘) during the research internship (ca. 550€ per month).

The IBS Master 2 internship topics eligible for GRAL funding are listed below:
