University of Leipzig

Scholarships and other support

Thanks to our sponsors, support for participants of the European Summer University in Digital Humanities is available. Please note: you can only apply for one scholarship / bursary / fellowship. Please note, furthermore, that the respective selection committee will decide on the basis of the quality of your application letter.

I) Funding granted by the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) allows us to award up to 20 scholarships to foreign alumni / alumnae of German universities, no matter from which country they come. There is one exception, however: Russian alumni / alumnae who hold offices in universities cannot be granted a scholarship at the moment.

Alumni / Alumnae are people from outside Germany who as (Erasmus) students, graduates, researchers or lecturers have received a degree at a German University or have studied, conducted research or worked at a German University at least for three months and who are now outside of Germany.

Ukrainians who are not Alumni / Alumnae of German universities but have an intimate relationship with Germany (for example as teachers or trainers or via German - Ukrainian teacher exchange) can temporarily also apply for such a scholarship.

To apply for a DAAD-Scholarship, a well written application (500-700 words) in German or English has to be submitted as a file via ConfTool. Evidence of the time(s) spent at German universities needs to be provided. Ukrainians who are not Alumni / Alumnae need to provide evidence of their intimate relationship with Germany.

Scholarships cover the costs of travel, accommodation (12 nights) and meals (11 days). Accommodation will be reserved by us. The scholarships do not cover participation fees. Scholarships are attributed only once the applicant has registered for the Summer University and paid her / his participation fees.

Should you have any questions please don't hessitate to ask them by writing a mail to esu_ct@uni-leipzig.de

II) Thanks to the generous support DARIAH-EU grants the European Summer University in Digital Humanities, a number of tuition fellowships will be available for (doctoral) students and young scholars who are not members of Leipzig University. The fellowships cover the participation fees.

Winners of such a fellowship accept the obligation of writing a report about the European Summer University and the experiences they gathered during the event, illustrating it with pictures of the event and sending it to DARIAH-EU in electronic form no later than three weeks after the end of the Summer University. The text and the pictures will be published on the DARIAH-EU website and promoted through social media channels. Here you can find reports about former editions of the European Summer University: https://www.dariah.eu/2019/09/25/reflections-from-the-european-summer-university-in-digital-humanities-university-of-leipzig-2019/ and https://www.dariah.eu/2021/11/12/reflections-from-the-european-summer-university-in-digital-humanities-university-of-leipzig-2021/

To apply for a DARIAH-EU fellowship, a well written application (500-700 words) in English, including a short statement on your research interests and information on your status (student, young scholar, ...), your university affiliation and the reason why you apply for the fellowship, has to be submitted as a file via ConfTool. The selection of the fellows is done by a committee consisting of DARIAH-EU representatives and members of ESU's Scientific Committee.

Preference will be given to applicants (in the following order) from

1) Eastern European Countries, including Georgia, Azerbaijan, and Armenia;

2) Southeastern European Countries, including Greece, Turkey and Cyprus;

3) Central European Countries but excluding Austria;

4) other European Countries;

5) other countries.

Only applications by registered participants are considered.

III) The Slovenian Language Technologies Society (SDJT) decided to continue the summer school funding for Slovenian students started in 2018 also in view of ESU 2019.

The open call (in Slovenian) can be found here http://www.sdjt.si/. The deadline for applications is May 25 2022.

IV) In order to support the participation of (doctoral) students and young scholars of Leipzig University at the European Summer University in Digital Humanities the Forum Digital Humanities Leipzig (FDHL) makes available up to 3 scholarships of 300,00 Euro each. Elegible for such a scholarship are:

  • (doctoral) students (no employment, members of Leipzig University)
  • young scholars (employed by Leipzig University)

To apply for a FDHL scholarship, a well written application (500-700 words) in German or English, including a short statement on your research interests and information on your status (student, young scholar), and the reason why you apply for the scholarship has to be submitted as a file via ConfTool. The scholarship winners are selected by a committee consisting of FDHL representatives.

Only applications by registered participants will be considered.

V) The University of Leipzig through its International Centre is, at this very moment, not able to garantee support to participants of the European Summer University as it has done in former years. There is some hope, however, that

a) not only for applicants from Leipzig's partner university Kiewski nazionalny uniwersitet im. Tarasa Schewtschenko but from the Ukraine in general special funds might be available,

b) some bursaries for applicants from the following Eastern European partner universities of Leipzig University might become available in July:

Country University
Bulgaria Sofiski Uniwersitet Sw. Kliment Ochridski
Poland Uniwersytet Wrocławski
Uniwersytet Jagiellonski w Krakowie
Rumania Universitatea Babeş-Bolyai, Cluj-Napoca
Slovenia Univerza v Ljubljani
Czech Republic Univerzita Karlova v Praze

Interested people from the Ukraine and the above named partner universities are strongly advised to apply for support / a bursary by submitting a well written application (500-700 words) in German or English as one file via ConfTool including a short statement on their research interests and the reason why they apply for support / a bursary. Applicants also need to prove their affiliation to an Ukrainian University / to one of the Eastern European partner universities listed above as well as their status.

VI) People coming from EU-Partner Countries may be able to apply for an Erasmus + scholarship (Key Action 103) at their own university. Please get informed.

VII) All interested people are strongly advised to inform themselves about support for further education, qualification, specialisation, professionalisation available at their own universities. At many universities such funding exists, to find out about it might, however, mean doing some serious research.

Should more support become available it will be announced here.
