Please send your application (in electronic form, in German or English) not later than 18th March 2022 to the chair of the DGK, Prof. Dr. Thomas Schleid (E-Mail: thomas.schleid@iac.uni-stuttgart.de).

Your application should include:
• Cover letter with motivation (1 page)

Grants will be issued subject to the quality of the application, acceptance of the conference contribution, and the available funds. Membership in the DGK is not a requirement. For legal reasons, it is not possible for us to award travel grants to recipients outside of Germany.

Applicants will be informed whether or not they have been granted a stipendium till 4th April 2022. Payout of the stipendium is under condition that the recipient actually participates in ECM 33 on site. It is expected that the grantees submit a report for publication in the organs of the DGK.
