Funding Opportunities Related to Gender Equality
Funding for gender equality projects and transitional funding for early-career female researchers
Projects promoting gender equality have been funded at the University of Siegen since 1997. The funds provided by the university are to be allocated annually through a competitive application process as part of an incentive system.
In addition, since 2009, transitional funding has been awarded to female doctoral candidates, postdoctoral researchers, and researchers pursuing a habilitation who are applying for a fellowship or who are only a few months away from completing their qualifications.
The calls for proposals for project funding and transitional funding are published here at the end of each calendar year.

Other internal and external Scholarships and Financial Aid Opportunities

half are awarded to students in particular need (provided they are eligible for BAföG) who have good academic performance. After the year of financial support, students are expected to transition into employment as student assistants whenever possible.
