What it's all about
For the second time, the ZEU is offering its members a small amount of money to carry out a scientific activity.
In the spirit of the ZEU, this should be interdisciplinary and ideally related to at least one of the ZEU's focus areas. The following activities could be funded:
- Project application (e.g. DFG, DAAD, BMBF, no scholarships) to be submitted through the ZEU (e.g., funding of meetings, travel expenses, student assistants, salary)
- Publications (e.g., funding of data evaluation, student assistants, salary)
- Primary data collection (e.g., travel expenses for research visits)
- Organisation of an international event in Giessen or abroad on a relevant topic (e.g., invitation of keynote speakers, catering)
- Measures to attract new ZEU members in an international context (e.g., invitation for research stays at the ZEU)
Please outline your idea in a maximum of 3 pages and include a financing plan.
Please use the prepared form FF01-2026_ZEU.RTF and follow the technical guidelines.
