Support of Mobility
Support of Mobility
- Support by the German Academic Exchange Service(DAAD):
- short-term scholarship for graduating doctoral students (1-6 months of support)
- one-year scholarship for graduating doctoral students
- travel programme for congresses and conferences
- bilateral scientists exchange
- P.R.I.M.E. – support of mobility for postdocs:
This support comprises of a phase of 12 months abroad and a six-months-long phase of integration in a German university at which the recipients of the support will be employed as postdocs throughout the entire duration of the support measure. - Project-oriented exchange of people with different countries:
At the centre of this is the initiation or intensification of collaborative research activities between a German and a foreign university and/or research facility in order to strengthen scientific relationships. Here, the qualification of junior scientists is of special importance. It is possible to apply for travelling allowances and funds for sojourns of members of a German research group for short-term research sojourns at foreign partner institutions, paid for out of DAAD funds.

PhD candidates from any and all disciplines may apply. Scholarship holders are expected to return to their home university after their research trip to finish their PhD project there. - Minerva Foundation
