The French Centre for Economic, Law and Social Studies in Sudan (CEDEJ Khartoum), whose activities are temporarily coordinated from Cairo, is launching a call for Research grants for graduate students (PhD and Master students) and researchers who conduct research in the social sciences and humanities on Sudan and Sudanese diaspora.
These grants are awarded to researchers who are based in Sudan or in Egypt or planning to do empirical field/research stay in Egypt. Applicants who currently do not have a scholarship with CEDEJ Khartoum will be given priority.

The amount of the grant is set at 800 euros . The grant beneficiary will receive 50% of the grant upon signing the grant contract. He will receive the remaining payment when the final report is submitted to the CEDEJ Khartoum coordinator – Marie BASSI – and after validation by the scientific committee.
Grantees will become Associated researchers at CEDEJ Khartoum until the end of 2026.
Grants offered are not subject to taxes, and do not include open rights to social security. They are awarded as contributions towards actual research costs.
