Both can point to the same institute

An institute page may list programmes and also host open roles. Start from the institute as the graph center, then choose the vacancy or scholarship path that matches your timing.

Frequently asked questions

What is an institute scholarship page?

A programme overview for doctoral training at a university or research institute: typical fields, funding context, and eligibility — not a single timed job ad.

What is an Open PhD position?

A concrete doctoral vacancy with a project description, host, and application deadline. Use it when you are ready to apply to a specific call.

Can both exist for the same institute?

Yes. Many institutes have a standing scholarship/programme page and separate open calls when projects are funded. Browse both, then apply only via the official call link.
