1669 Travel and Research Scholarships for Doctoral Colleges (DC)

At the University of Innsbruck, travel and research scholarships are offered by the Förderkreis 1669 - Wissenschaft Gesellschaft - of the University of Innsbruck.

The promotion of young researchers is one of the goals of the Förderkreis 1669. In accordance with this guiding principle of the Förderkreis, academics who are members of a doctoral college at the University of Innsbruck are supported during research stays abroad. Scholarships are awarded for research stays worldwide, also for research, archival work, fieldwork and scientific collections. In addition, the funding of conference participation is intended to support excellent young researchers in building relationships in the scientific community and discussing their research results with an expert audience.
