Women in academia in their phase of qualification (from the doctorate onwards) can apply for the following:
Travel expenses (depending on the trip, digital or possibly as a subsidy) | Conference trips with own presentation or poster are supported preferentially. In legal studies no active participation at the conference is needed, but a letter of recommendation by the academic supervisor. |
Funds for student assistants | Female stundent assistants should be employed to increasingly introduce female students into academia. |
Funds for sundry things | In certain cases, women in academia who make an application for a research trip, a professional training or special measures, are supported. These applications are considered individually. |
