Aktionsgemeinschaft zur Förderung wissenschaftlicher Projekte (EN)

The "Association for support of scientific projects" (Aktionsgemeinschaft zur Förderung wissenschaftlicher Projekte) (in short AWiPro)  at the University of Siegen supports scientists, but also employees of the University of Siegen, who have fallen on hard times through no fault of their own, by (co-)financing projects. AWiPro is a registered association that is supported by members of the University of Siegen from all areas and works in solidarity with the University. The support can be transitional funding, e.g. to bridge a gap between projects. Likewise, final support is possible, for example, for the successful completion of a doctorate, if, for instance, a doctoral position or a scholarship is coming to an end. In all funded projects, the scientific aspect has priority. The funding period is usually between two months and one year.

Who we are >

Members
AWiPro thrives on private commitment. Its members are mostly former or current university members who pay an annual contribution. Currently there are about 55 members. The annual budget is about 6,000-7,000 euros. The idea was born in the 1970s. The members of the association today come from all faculties and departments of the university.

Executive Board

The board of the association includes:
» Chairman: Prof. Dr. Thomas Naumann, Faculty I
» Vice Chairman: Eva-Maria Grottschreiber, International Office
» Secretary: Prof. Dr. Bernd Engel, Faculty IV
»Treasurer: Prof. Dr. Holger Schönherr, Faculty IV

What we do >


AWiPro can help at short notice and unbureaucratically in emergeny situations. This is particularly evident in the Corona pandemic, in which many part-time jobs have been cut, and foreign students, for example, were often left completely destitute. Here AWiPro can often help quickly in cooperation with the International Office. Typical cases of support are, for example, social emergencies in view of the completion of master's or doctoral theses.

AWiPro pursues the goal of "supporting scientists and also employees who have fallen on hard times through no fault of their own by (co-)financing projects". The scientific aspect of the partially funded projects is given priority. The funding period is between two months and one year.

Applications for support can be submitted by members of the association.
