The Ernst Mach Grant Worldwide offers research scholarships for young postgraduates and postdocs from all countries except Austria to conduct research in Austria for up to nine months.

The Ernst Mach Grant Worldwide is designed to foster international research collaboration by supporting young academics from around the globe (excluding Austria) to undertake research projects in Austria. The program aims to promote research cooperation, support early-career researchers, and strengthen networks between Austrian institutions and the international research community.

The grant provides a monthly stipend of 1,300 Euro for a duration of 1 to 9 months. Applicants from non-European developing countries (as defined by the DAC list, plus Gabon, Malaysia, Namibia, South Africa, and Thailand) may receive a travel cost subsidy of up to 1,200 Euro upon submission of original travel invoices. Tuition fees at Austrian public universities may be waived for grant holders, and the OeAD offers assistance in arranging accommodation and health insurance, though recipients are responsible for these costs themselves.

Eligible applicants include postgraduates pursuing a doctoral or PhD program outside Austria, postgraduates and postdocs who completed their studies at a university outside Austria after 30 September 2025, and postdocs currently employed as researchers at a university outside Austria. Applicants must be 35 years old or younger (born on or after 01 October 1991), have not lived, studied, or worked in Austria in the six months prior to the grant, and possess very good knowledge of English and/or German. The grant is open to all disciplines, including natural sciences, technical sciences, health sciences, agricultural sciences, social sciences, humanities, and arts.
