Apply for Travel Grants

Take your chance to win a travel grant of up to 2,000€ – apply until February 13, 2022!

The travel grants enable international postdocs to visit the research consortium and experience the unique research opportunities on site. During the individually agreed stay in spring/summer 2022, the postdocs from the research fields of the research consortium will have the opportunity to exchange with their hosts and local experts and to discuss possibilities for future collaboration.

The grantees will receive information about the research landscape in Germany. In addition, the winners of the travel grants can participate in workshops – digital or face-to-face. These include training on writing grant proposals and strategic career planning to shape their individual career paths in Germany. The workshops are offered by RUB Research School, the campus-wide graduate school for Early Career Researchers.
