Funding during the research phase of your doctoral studies
The VISESS Research Funds aim to support active VISESS students during the research phase of their doctoral studies. PhD students who have successfully passed their public presentation (“FÖP”) can apply for need-based funds to a maximum of 500€ per year for the duration of 3 years. The funds can be used for research-related costs, including but not limited to travel expenses to conferences, workshops, research- or field trips, fees for summer or winter schools, self-organised workshops and more. Submission is possible on a rolling basis with a minimum lead time of 4 weeks before the start of the planned activity.
Minimal requirements
- Applicants must be enrolled in the DSPL45 doctoral programme, be a VISESS student member and have agreed to the Code of Good Practice.
- Applicants must have successfully passed the FÖP within the first 2 semesters after registration, have submitted their dissertation agreement, and since then have submitted their annual progress reports (this applies strictly for students who started after 01.03.2023).
- Applicants must show active and regular participation in VISESS activities, i.e.
- minimum 75% participation in the VISESS Seminar over 2 semesters during the time of their doctoral studies
- co-organisation of one Big Picture Talk or Event during the time of their doctoral studies - Applicants need to first use other available funding sources (such as funding opportunities through project funds or other relevant alternative funding opportunities).
