GSLS Travel Fellowships
GSLS travel fellowships offer GSLS doctoral researchers the opportunity to participate in international conferences (active participation, talk or poster presentation, is a prerequisite) or support a research stay in a foreign laboratory.
GSLS travel fellowships for doctoral candidates in the natural sciences (PhD/Dr. rer. nat.)
Each GSLS doctoral researcher can receive up to 1.200 EUR until graduation. It is important to note that only GSLS doctoral researchers (PhD candidates) are eligible to apply for a travel fellowship.
Funding for travel fellowships is based on the location of the meeting or activity attended:
- within Germany: up to 300 EUR
- outside Germany: up to 500 EUR
GSLS travel fellowships for doctoral candidates in medicine
Medical doctoral candidates with an MD fellowship of the Faculty of Medicine or the GSLS who registered with the GSLS and take part in our specially adapted, structured doctoral programme are also eligible for GSLS travel fellowships.
They can receive up to 300 EUR until graduation, independent of the location of the activity attended.
