Every doctoral candidate can apply for funding from the TUM-GS for internationalization purposes. These include, in particular:
- research stays at an academic institute or with an industrial company that does research in another country,
- active participation and presentation of own academic/research results at international conferences and symposia in foreign countries, and
- joint research projects with international guests and visiting researchers at TUM. These guests and visiting researchers can be invited by (a group of) doctoral candidates.
Requirements for an application to the internationalization fundings are:
- Completed documents in DocGS:
- Exposé
- Appointment of a mentor
- Successful participation to the Kick-Off-Seminar by TUM-GS
- In advance of a positive evaluation: convincing application by supervisor
Internal doctoral candidates (= at least 0,25 place of employment as research assistant at TUM or scholarship holder) can apply for the internationalization funding either before or after their international stay. You can find a guideline to the Internationalization funding under FAQs & Downloads.
External doctoral candidates (= all others) can only finance their internationalization via an application to the Internationalization Grant. For further questions, please, contact Dr. Ehrlenspiel. You can find a guideline to the Internationalization Grant and the submission deadlines under FAQs & Downloads.
For international conferences abroad a refunding of 800 € will be submitted. A positive evaluation is not necessarily needed. If you haven't a positive evaluation by the time you're planning your international stay, you have to make an informal request at Prof. Ehrlenspiel IN ADVANCE!
Since the financial support regarding the discussion in the international scientific and academic community is linked to an event abroad, the Graduate Center, Department of Sport and Health Sciences (FGZ-SG) supports as well participations to an international conference in Germany with the initiative fonds „conference participations“. Benefits in the amount of 500 € can be granted to travel expanses with the initiative fonds „conference participation“ that are arisen with an active participation to an international expert conference in Germany (referred to Bayerisches Reisekostengesetz, BayRKG). Every member of the FGZ-SG can apply. Please, find further information at Downloads , see info sheet and an application form.
