Information on the application procedure and electronic application forms are available on the mares website, section “application forms”: http://www.mares-eu.org/index.asp?p=1846&a=1846
Selected PhD grants for this call for applications will be starting from September 2015 at the earliest. The deadline to apply for one of these Erasmus Mundus scholarships is set at December 1st 2014.
We expect to have six grants available for this Fifth Edition: 4 for Category A applicants; 2 for Category B applicants and possibly 1 additional “window candidate” for either a Western Balkan or Turkish applicant. These grants have a duration of 3 years. Selected candidates will get an employment contract, the monthly salary will be approximately between 1400€ and 1800€ and include a bench fee as well (7200€ per year)
Applications are open for thirteen MARES PhD Subjects. The list of subjects can be consulted on the MARES website. Please consult the MARES PhD Subject Catalogue 2014 here (http://www.mares-eu.org/index.asp?p=2174&a=1853)

A secondary PhD Subject Catalogue has been published as well (http://www.mares-eu.org/index.asp?p=2173&a=1853) . It contains PhD Subjects that will not be funded with an Erasmus Mundus PhD grant. These subjects have no funding attached to them, but they are open for candidates that are able to secure funding on their own initiative.
