980017 TS Funding Possibilities for First Stage Researchers - An Introduction (2014S)

In this 4-hour workshop, participants will get an overview about available funding bodies and various support programs and scholarships for different stages of their scientific career. The focus is on funding opportunities for dissertation projects, but funding possibilities for early PostDOCs will be discussed as well.
In addition one will ‘slip into the mind of an evaluator’. Participants will train to evaluate a fellowship proposal and prepare an evaluation summary report. Comparing these results with ones from an official summary report will show how to spot strengths and weaknesses of a research proposal. This and practical tips from a successful applicant will support workshop participants in preparing their own successful grant application.
