Funding for 2025

8 February 2025

In 2025, the office of the dean will once again provide funding for doctoral candidates in the Faculty of Business, Economics and Social Sciences. We are very happy about these resources and hope they contribute to creating the conditions required for first-class research.

Thus, in 2025 the Graduate School can provide funding for:

• participation in (online-) scientific conferences
• participation in (online-) summer schools or (online-) workshops
• fieldwork and research stays
• direct research needs (acquisition of data sets or assumption of transcription costs)
• proofreading of English-language texts

In 2025, the maximum funding amount per doctoral candidate is €750. This can be distributed among several projects.

Decisions about funding are made based on the available funding and funding criteria. Applications for funding can be submitted to the Graduate School office at the latest by November 17th, 2025. The invoices and receipts (as well as travel expense claims when travelling) must be submitted to the Graduate School office at the latest by December 1st, 2025. Financial support for events taking place in 2026 is not possible. Please note that doctoral research assistents must submit the application for reimbursement of a work-related travel no later than 6 months after the end of the travel (6-month period).
