The CaRiPaRo foundation offers 15 grants for students willing to follow a Ph.D. program at the University of Padova (Italy). The winners of these grants will get a (modest, but normal for Italian standards) yearly check of about 13.500 euros, plus full board and lodging.

If you are interested, check the rules of the game here. The applications have to be sent electronically by September 5th. Note that if you won the grant, you could come and work with me at some hot topic in particle physics research with the CMS experiment !
