Research Stays Funded for RWTH Scholars

 

Since 2013, in order to further promote the internationalization of the university, ERS International has enabled RWTH scholars to spend a period of research abroad at a foreign university. in the previous nine calls, more than 60 proposals were funded with a total funding volume of about 250,000 euros.

The duration of the stay should be at least one month and cannot be combined with conferences.

The Regions of Strategic Intererst, ROSI for short, are given special consideration in the selection process, although other target countries are also possible.

Applications are only accepted once the call has been published and if they are submitted before the deadline. The deadline for the last call was November 3, 2022.
