Lecturers can apply for funds for workshops, methods courses, etc. on the doctoral level that are not covered by the teaching load. As this concerns curricular teaching, the planning is carried out by the PhD coordinators within the framework of regular teaching planning. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the PhD coordinator being responsible for your doctoral subject.
All information can be found in the information sheet on Financing of Curricular Teaching at Doctoral Level (PDF, 91 KB)(German only).
The Graduate School subsidizes the invitation of guests in doctoral colloquia. Lecturers of doctoral colloquia can apply for travel and accommodation expenses for a maximum of two guests. Guests are especially co-supervisors who attend project presentations. An invitation should therefore be made in consultation with the doctoral students.
The application must be submitted by the lecturer of the colloquium. The colloquium is a pure doctoral course or a course cross-listed from MA of at least one "SWS". Guests may be invited to a maximum of two sessions of the colloquium.
A total of max. 1000 CHF is available for two guests.The budget proviso applies.
Please send the application form (DOCX, 60 KB) by 10 February (for guests in spring semester) or 10 September 2023 (for guests in fall semester) via email to graduiertenschule@phil.uzh.ch.
There are two options:
1. The invited guests send a scan of the original receipts (train ticket, boarding pass, hotel bill, etc.) no later than one month after the visit to rechnungswesen@phil.uzh.ch. In addition, they will share the following information:
As a rule, the amount will be transferred to the mentioned account 30 days after the receipt of the documents.
2. It is also possible to transfer the fund to the institute/chair. The transfer must be submitted no later than one month after the visit.

The Graduate School promotes inter-university doctoral cooperation (national and international). Existing and new doctoral cooperations between a doctoral subject of the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences of the University of Zurich and another university or a Swiss university of applied sciences or university of teacher education can apply for funding for joint events.
Ten inter-university doctoral cooperations can be funded with CHF 7,500 each per year. The Graduate School's funding is annual. However, in order to allow for multi-year planning of the collaborations, the funding is granted for a period of four years (1 January 2025-31 December 2028). During these four years, the funds must be used and reported on annually. Applications can be submitted for existing and new inter-university doctoral collaborations; follow-up applications are also possible. The call for applications for the next but one term from 2029-2032 will follow in 2026 at the earliest and 2028 at the latest, depending on the budget.
As a rule, a joint course at doctoral level financed by the Graduate School's funding programme takes place once a year. At least three doctoral students each from PhF and the partner institution take part.
The application must include the following information:
Applications must be submitted by e-mail to the Graduate School (graduiertenschule@phil.uzh.ch) by 10 September 2024.
The Graduate School's Executive Committee will review the applications and decide on the award by mid-October 2024.
After the four-year funding period, a further call for applications is planned, in which follow-up applications will be possible. Alternatively, an application for continuation is possible for designated individual cases if the following criteria decided by the Faculty Board are met.
