Antrag Auf Förderung Eines Forschungsprojektes Durch Das IZKF Münster

The CiM Gender Committee offers travel grants for female researchers to attend scientific conferences with the aim to improve presentation and networking skills of the cluster's female scientists.

Eligible for application are female researchers of all CiM labs up to the level of junior group leaders. Students of the CiM-IMPRS graduate school are expected to use their annual travel budget before applying.

A maximum of 1000 € per person and year can be granted. If needed, additional family support can be requested. To receive funding, active participation of the applicant in the form of an oral or a poster presentation is obligatory. Please note: if multiple applications from one CiM lab are submitted or the total amount of requested funding of applications exceeds the available sum, the gender committee will allocate the funds accordingly.

For overseas conferences, applicants are required to apply for additional funding, for example at a public trust or the DAAD ‘Kongress- und Vortragsreisenprogramm’. Being granted this additional requested funding is, however, not obligatory.

To apply, researchers are requested to complete this form and send it with the attachments (see section 12) to the Careers-in-Motion Centre ([email protected]). The Gender Committee will decide about the submitted applications on a quarterly basis, for which the cut-off dates are 15 October, 15 January, 15 April and 15 July.
