Who can apply?
Which event types, subjects and/or topics?
PICAIS especially seeks to sponsor events that are related to one of the University’s guiding themes, whereby proposals for interdisciplinary scholarly events are preferred:
The funding scheme is predominantly set up as partial funding and subsidy (‘Beihilfe’ in German), i.e. it is possible that the funds cover only part of the costs, in which case complementary funding will have to be provided by the applicants.
Please make sure to adhere to the University Guidelines (“Repräsentationsrichtlinien" – available in German, only) for planning events, e.g. catering and hospitality, and to inquire available rooms before submitting your application. If you need help with comprehension, please contact picais-office@uni-passau.de.
Please also make sure to check that rooms for your event will be available when submitting your application.
In 2024, the PICAIS hosted fourteen Fellows from eleven countries and has funded their fellow events and three other events like workshops or symposiums. The PICAIS also organised two coffee talks in 2024 as scientific networking events.
For 2025, the PICAIS has alrady approved seven fellows and five symposiums, conferences and summer schools.
We look forward to many more interesting and inspiring scientific events!
