The Academic Society of Freiburg im Breisgau has the objective to support early career scientists. Scientists of all disciplines are invited to apply for funding, which can cover a variety of costs necessary for the implementation of scientific projects. Among others, applications can be made for funding for trips relevant for their research (field trips, study visits to improve research skills, joint preparation of a larger research proposal), consumables for research projects, publication or printing costs (e.g. dissertations with distinction i.e. summa cum laude or – in exceptional cases – excellent habilitation theses and publications that are deemed of outstanding importance for the scientific reputation of the University of Freiburg), climate-neutral lecture tours to important international conferences and congresses. Applications up to a funding volume of € 1,500 are reviewed monthly (except in August), and are expected to be submitted by the beginning of the month. Applications with a higher funding volume (up to EUR 5,000) are assesed twice a year in the meetings of the Board of Trustees. Timely application is a prerequisite.

Deadline: The next deadline for application with funding volumes exceeding € 1,500 is October 13th 2023.
