As a fellow of HGS MathComp, you can apply for funding to start your own initiative for PhD students. Typically, this will be an event such as a workshop/conference for junior researchers. Other ideas may also qualify if you submit a strong proposal.

Available funding per application: € 4000

Eligible expenses:

• Catering

• Consumables
• Advertising
• Other expenses subject to discussion

Additional support:

• Kick-off meeting to discuss the necessary administrative processes
• Assistance with booking catering, advertising, and paperwork (such as contracts and invoices)

Requirements:

• The event must benefit the wider PhD community of HGS MathComp, not only specific research groups.
• For expenses exceeding the maximum grant (€ 4000), efforts to secure co-funding must be demonstrated.
• Collaboration with partners (other graduate schools, departments at other universities, other student groups) is strongly encouraged.
• Applicants handle all organizational tasks such as researching catering options, booking rooms, and participant registration.
• Successful applicants agree to help future applicants by sharing their experiences.

Application:

• Deadlines: 30.04. and 30.10. of each year
• Required documents: Tentative scientific program and financial plan (including co-funding, if applicable)
• Please submit your application via the funding application form.
