Student support funds for advanced students

For us the support of young researchers does not start in the doctoral phase but with the support of highly committed students in their last semester of study. We would like to meet the strong interest of advanced students with our student support fund for advanced students.

What can be funded with the help of the support fund?

1. Student research groups –StuReG
A StuReG is a group of at least six students who independently form a (interdisciplinary) research field, which has a close connection with the research question of the Cluster. The defined research field has to be broad enough to include the research interests of several participating students.

These StuReGs offer the possibility to discuss questions regarding students’ Master theses beyond bigger colloquia, to build working networks and to acquire the competences of research, science and conference management in a group, in which small workshops, conferences etc. can be organized.

As a general rule StuReGs can apply for support of max. 1000€/year. We can cover for lecturer and travel fees for invited speakers as well as costs for material. We can only reimburse costs that can be documented by original receipts.
