The Google European Doctoral Fellowship Programme was created to support outstanding PhD students doing exceptional research in the field of computer science. These fellowships will provide up to three years support for an individual doing research within a PhD programme in computer science and related disciplines. The fellowship includes a bursary covering tuition, fees, stipend/salary, social benefits, and health care, and EUR 4,000 per year toward conference travel or a personal computer. The bursary varies by country and the yearly bursary amount for a university in France is EUR 36,000. Additionally, Doctoral Fellows will be assigned a Google mentor, invited to a Fellowship Forum at Google, and strongly encouraged to apply for an internship at Google.
In 2011, Google will award approximately 15 named fellowships from amongst the following :
* Google Fellowship in Algorithms
* Google Fellowship in Natural Language Processing
* Google Fellowship in Machine Learning
* Google Fellowship in Computer Security
* Google Fellowship in Distributed Computing

Participating Universities, and specifically Computing Science departments (or related departments) are invited to nominate two students for specific fellowship consideration. Please note that given that the fellowship areas overlap, we may choose a different fellowship for your nomination. Nominations and application materials are due 1st February 2011. An online nomination form will be available in early January 2011 for submissions and eligible Universities will receive an e-mail once the form can be accessed.
