Applications

PhD-students are invited to apply with the following documents:

• A letter of motivation indicating the following aspects:
  • Why would you like to participate in the Summer School? Please include both academic and personal considerations.

Travel funding

On condition that the conference organizers are successful in securing sufficient funding, PhD students whose proposals have been accepted may apply for a travel allowance up to 300,00 Euro per person to cover parts of their travel costs. The travel allowance is supposed to allow PhD students who do not have appropriate funding opportunities by their home institutions or other third parties to participate in the summer school. A written confirmation that no other (or only very limited) funding for travel is available has to be included in the application.
