We
prolong application deadlines for our funding programm
for postdocs to “organise academic events”, until 15
June 2020
In the wake of the current university measures to help
its members cope with the CoVid19-situation, FSU
Graduate Academy has decided to prolong the deadline
also for its newest funding programme for postdocs,
“Organising Academic Events” until 15 June 2020.
It is possible to apply for funding of up to EUR
1,500.00 per event, e.g. for guest lecturers, student
assistants, or public relations materials. Due to the
current circumstances, it is possible to handle the time
planning for the event quite flexibly.
Eligible to apply for the funding programme are teams of
at least two researchers in their early career phase
(postdocs and doctoral candidates). At least one member
of the team currently has to be a postdoc at Friedrich
Schiller University.
Please submit your application to the application portal
of Graduate Academy until 15 June 2020.
