In cooperation with the Faculties of Business Administration and Economics, Mathematics and Physics and the Center for Mathematical Economics, the BGTS offers mobility grants to outstanding doctoral candidates, who are planning a short-time stay at another research institution. The aim of the grants is to further the candidates' doctoral projects and to build lasting contacts to international scientific collaboration partners.
Duration Grants are awarded for research stays of at least one month. A limit of the duration is given by the maximal amount of the grants (see Benefits). The research stay shall be realized before the end of the academic year 2022/23.
The BGTS Mobility Grant consists of a one-time award of up to 3000 € for reimbursement of travel costs and local expenses. Payment in advance is possible to a large extent. The grant holder is required to present proof of costs to the BGTS office. Costs not incurred have to be paid back, if an advance payment has been made. (Foreign) health insurance can not be reimbursed.
Eligible for application: Doctoral students in the BGTS. In justified exceptional cases also Master students who are in the final phase of their studies can be proposed by their Master supervisor. Persons who have received a BGTS Mobility Grant before are not eligible to apply again.
