Funding of a Visiting Researcher

The goal is to allow female researchers execute joint research projects at the University of Bonn in cooperation with visiting scientists, and to present them to the local community of experts. The Bonn researchers should thus learn how to establish and deepen strategic partnerships. In this way, the University of Bonn promotes the formation of networks of female academics and expert academic dialog across national borders.

The funding covers the costs of inviting one visiting female researcher for up to 4 weeks (max. EUR 5,000). Proper justification must be provided if an exception is being requested.

Applications can be submitted by any professor or postdoctoral researcher in the faculties or central institutes at the University of Bonn. The application to the Rectorate must be made via the dean of the respective faculty or by the managing director of the central institute.

• Brief cover letter depicting and justifying the joint research project
• Tabular curriculum vitae, incl. research orientation and index of publications, for both applicant and guest
• List of costs

• Importance of the visit for applicant’s own research
• Integration of the visitor into the research strategy at the University of Bonn

Applications for the summer term can be submitted by 31 December of the previous year, for the winter term by 30 June of the same year.
