In cooperation with the Faculties of Business Administration and Economics, Mathematics and Physics and the Center for Mathematical Economics, the BGTS offers mobility grants to outstanding doctoral candidates, who are planning a short-time stay at another research institution. The aim of the grants is to further the candidates' doctoral projects and to build lasting contacts to international scientific collaboration partners.
The BGTS Mobility Grant consists of a one-time award of up to 4000 € for reimbursement of travel costs and local expenses. Payment in advance is possible to a large extent. The grant holder is required to present proof of costs to the BGTS office. Costs not incurred have to be paid back, if an advance payment has been made. (Foreign) health insurance can not be reimbursed.

All BGTS members and particular doctoral students are welcome to participate in our one hour BGTS Mobility Grants Coffee Info Meeting on April 10 at 3:00 pm. The meeting will take place in V3-106.
Former grant holders will talk about their experiences during their Mobility Grants funded research stays. Also it is a good chance for you to ask them about organisational issues (VISA, how to find a hosting institution,..) and how they profited from their stay abroad in their academic path.
Of course, there will be coffee/tea and cookies!
