Action Group for the Promotion of Scientific Projects
The “Action Group for the Promotion of Scientific Projects” (AWiPro) is a registered association of members of the University of Siegen community. It supports students and researchers at the University of Siegen who, through no fault of their own, find themselves in financial distress by (co-)funding academic projects, such as theses.
Why should you support AWiPro?
- Often a lifeline for students and researchers in need, helping them successfully complete their studies or research
- Provides support for international students, some of whom come from particularly difficult social or political circumstances
- Unbureaucratic and direct support
-
Support from the university for the university
