The grant covers travel and living costs. The following activities are supported: research stays at universities or other research institutions, field studies, etc. Stays of at least two weeks' duration that are central to the dissertation project are supported. The funds are disbursed in the form of a stipend with a lump sum in advance.

Please compile the application form with the invitation letter from the host institution OR, for field research, with a support letter from the main supervisor into a single PDF. Send this via email to graduiertenschule@phil.uzh.ch.
1 February 2025 for trips with departure in 2025. The Subject Boards decide by early March on the allocation. Payment will be made in early April 2025.
Each committee decides on the applications from its subject area(s). The funds are allocated competitively. Budgetary constraints apply.
A brief report along with a photo/image, an overview of expenses, and corresponding receipts must be submitted to the responsible doctoral coordinator no later than one month after the trip's completion. The report and photo will be published on the showcase of the GS website.
Travel insurance is the responsibility of the doctoral students. Please inquire here about any potential insurance coverage provided by UZH.

The portion of the stipend already paid for subsistence costs must be refunded pro rata temporis. If the trip cannot be undertaken, the Graduate School must also be promptly informed in writing, and the entire awarded amount must be refunded.
