Research Support

Applications: At the earliest three months before purchase/service and at the latest one month after purchase/service.
 
Doctoral students can apply for subsidies for the following items:

  • Costs for language courses at the UZH/ETH Language Center or comparable institutions in Switzerland (online courses are also possible if the language is not offered at the Language Center).
  • Costs for specialized literature and interlibrary loan fees.
  • Costs for collection, analysis, and management of empirical data (e.g., software, licenses; no hardware). Typically, these costs should be covered by the institute/department, project or chair. If not possible and if the service/purchase is necessary for the individual dissertation project, a subsidy can be requested. 

Conditions

Enrolled doctoral students of the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences are eligible to apply (also during their leave of absence in the publication phase). In 2024, a subsidy of up to 1000 CHF per person can be requested. Multiple applications can be submitted until the maximum sum is reached. Combining multiple items in one application is possible. There is no entitlement to the grant. Amounts of less than CHF 100 will not be paid out. Furthermore, the budget proviso applies.
