Scholarships
Thanks to our sponsors, the following support for participants will be available. Please note: you can only apply for one scholarship / bursary / fellowship.
Funding granted by the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) allows us to award up to 17 scholarships to alumni / alumnae of German universities. Alumni / Alumnae are people from outside Germany who as 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. Scholarships cover the costs of travel, accommodation (12 nights) and meals (11 days). They do not cover participation fees. To apply for a DAAD-Scholarship, a written application (500-700 words) in German or English including evidence of the time(s) spent at German universities has to be submitted as a file via ConfTool. Scholarships are attributed only once the applicant has registered for the Summer School and paid her / his participation fees.
