Networking Grant

Currently, the program is not open for applications

Are you a doctoral researcher at KIT and do you want to independently establish new important or beneficial international contacts in order to extend your personal network? KHYS offers you extensive assistance and financial support with a travel subsidy of up to EUR 1,500 from the moment you got the idea right through to your initial approach.

With the Networking Grant you can travel abroad for up to two weeks to visit a researcher or working group renowned in your area of expertise and in relation to your doctoral research project. You can split the funding and visit up to two contacts (each for maximum two weeks). There are many ways to realize your ideas in the framework of the Networking Grant. For example you could use the grant to prepare and plan a longer research period abroad with the ▶ KHYS Research Travel Grant. The main condition is that the contact must be a new one for you and your research group. Especially those applicants, who have not had the chance to gain international experience yet, will benefit most of this program and the accompanying workshop.
