The Jean Monnet Centre of Excellence call for applications for financial support for Graduate Student Travel Research to the European Union (EU) is now open! Doctoral and Master’s level students enrolled at Carleton who are conducting research in the EU and on a topic related to the EU, European integration or EU-Canada relations are eligible to apply for Spring/Summer 2026.
The maximum amount of financial support which a graduate student may receive is $1200 to assist with partially covering travel and research expenses. Research must be conducted in the EU member states to be considered for financial support by the selection committee and can be combined with other activities such as a student study exchange, the EU Study Tour or a language course.
More details about the application and the materials to submit can be found here. The deadline to submit application materials is no later than Sunday, February 22, 2026.
Please note: Travel research financial support is conditional on the travel being permitted under the application of travel rules issued by Carleton University, the Government of Canada and the government of the destination EU member state at the time of travel.

Jean Monnet Centre of Excellence activities are co-funded by the European Union and by Carleton University.
