Funding Opportunities and Grants
Doctoral students with an outstanding dissertation project can apply for mobility stays abroad of three to twelve months. The scholarship is paid out as a lump sum and is intended to contribute to living, travel and research costs. The amount of the lump sum will be announced prior to the call for applications.
Doctoral candidates in the final phase of their dissertation can apply for funding to complete their dissertation. This includes a salary for a six-month leave of absence from assistance, teaching, and administrative tasks.
There are two possible submission dates per year. The applications will be reviewed at the subsequent regular meetings of the Research Commission (FoKo). The application is submitted through the modul "Internal Funding" of the Research Information System (FIS).
