Event Funding
PICAIS publishes calls for Event Funding at the University of Passau in two selection rounds each year.
The application deadlines for online applications for the PICAIS funding programmes are 15 May and 15 October each year.
Please note that the application documents may change slightly. We recommend that you ensure that the relevant documents are up to date before submitting your application.
Who can apply?
- Applicants must have a doctoral degree.
At least one of the applicants must be a member of the University of Passau. - Special consideration is given to proposals submitted by and/or involving early career researchers as well as internationally competitive alliances.
- The involvement of international speakers is particularly welcome.
Which event types, subjects and/or topics?
- All forms of academic events (e.g. conferences, lecture series, symposia, seminars, summer schools and workshops) to be held at the University of Passau that facilitate excellent research and initiate or promote enhance cooperation networking.
- Participants may include scholars from one specific discipline or a mix of many disciplines.
- Open to all disciplines, topics and methodological traditions.
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:
- Europe
- Sustainability
- Digitalisation
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.
