Visiting Scholarship at the Faculty of Business, Economics, and Law
Funding for research stays abroad
As part of the targets for increasing the proportion of women in academia, the faculty has funds available to support career development measures for early career female researchers at the faculty.
Research periods at foreign research locations are an important component of a career in research. We would like to encourage talented female researchers who are pursuing a career in research and wish to plan a research stay abroad.

Scope
Researchers may apply for funding of up to €2,200 per month per person and a maximum of €6,600 euros in total.
Use
The funds may be used to cover the costs incurred for up to three months of a research stay abroad. Recipients are required to submit a report of their experiences to the Officer for equal opportunities for women in science and the arts at the Faculty of Business, Economics, and Law.
