„Dialogkulturen. Wissenschaftliche Reflexionsräume für Kultur-und Sozialwissenschaften“
Call for proposals of the KU Research Training Group on Cultures of Dialog “Dialogkulturen.
Wissenschaftliche Reflexionsräume für Kultur- und Sozialwissenschaften“
Start-up grant for projects
For the 2024/25 winter semester, the KU Research Training Group "Dialogkulturen.
Wissenschaftliche Reflexionsräume für Kultur- und Sozialwissenschaften" of the Catholic
University of Eichstätt-Ingolstadt is awarding a grant to provide start-up funding for
research projects to early-career researchers who focus on aspects of dialog cultures and
have a topic-related connection to the research priorities of the research training group (see:
https://www.ku.de/dialogkulturen/ziele-und-foerderung).
Applications can be submitted to the subject areas that are involved in the research training
group: Philosophy of Education, Modern German Literary Studies, German Linguistics,
Classical Archaeology, Classical Philology, Art History, Latin American History, Medieval
History, Modern German Linguistics, Political Education, Romance Literary Studies and
Sociology.
The research grant is aimed specifically at researchers who are just about to transition to the
next qualification level, in particular from the doctoral to the early post-doc phase. The grant is
intended to provide financial support for the researcher in the preparation and drafting of a
third-party funding application with the aim of acquiring an own position with relevant funding
bodies. The primary aim of the grant is therefore to give qualified early-career researchers an
opportunity for realizing an original research idea and thus to further develop their own
scientific career. It is also possible to prepare a combined or network application together with
other parties. Cooperation with the KU, in particular with the members of the research training
group, is desired.
Funding is provided for a period of six months; a one-time extension for a further six months
is possible in case of outstanding performance. The selected grant beneficiary will receive a
lump sum grant amount of € 2,500 per month. In addition to financial support, the grant
beneficiaries are also advised on the planning and development of their research projects and
supported in applying for third-party funding. There is also the opportunity to participate in
events organized by the "Dialogkulturen" research training group and to be involved in its activities.
Application requirements include a completed doctorate with above-average results and
commitment to applying for third-party funding for their own research project on aspects of
dialog cultures, either independently or in collaboration with others. The application documents
should include:
1. Cover letter/letter of motivation (no longer than 2 pages)
2. Fully completed application form
3. Short outline of planned research project (no longer than 6 pages) including information
on possible funding institutions to which an application will be submitted, as well as a timeline
and work plan for the funding period
4. Résumé in table form including list of publications to date
5. Copy of the doctoral certificate
Applications can be submitted in German or English to the Research Training Group
"Dialogkulturen" by August 15, 2024. Please combine all application documents in one PDF
document and send it to the coordination office of the group (forschungskolleg-
