Starter Grants for the year 2027

ELIGIBILITY:

Open to all disciplines

Candidate Requirements: They award the grants to individuals affiliated with institutions abroad with challenging and innovative research projects of top academic quality through a highly competitive, strictly merit-based selection process. Applicants must have a PhD, and it is indispensable that the PhD procedure is fully completed (including PhD diploma). The all-important selection criteria are the academic excellence of both the applicant and the cooperative project—reflected, for example, in high-ranking publications—as well as the potential for networking with the University of Bayreuth beyond the local host.

They view the diversity of our awardees as an asset and are expressly committed to the goal of gender equality. Female scholars and anyone who can help make the research profile of the university more diverse are strongly encouraged to apply.

For more information on the application and selection process (required documents, guidelines on eligibility, hosts, evaluation criteria, timeline, and stages of the selection process), see our Application Guidelines for Starter Grants. Please note that the guidelines are rigorously binding and applications not adhering to them will not be considered.

BENEFIT:

Award sum: 10,000 €

The Grantees will have the awarded sum at their disposal for covering all costs of project realization. Grantees accompanied by at least one child receive an additional monthly family allowance of 250 €. If successful, Grantees may apply for a follow-up grant called a “Booster Grant” by the Bayreuth Humboldt Centre (award sum 20,000 €). This requires proof of the successfully completed Starter Grant. Success must be documented in, e.g., joint publications, a jointly organized workshop or conference, or other results of the starter funding. These success criteria will be evaluated during the selection process for the Booster Grant. Please see the Application Guidelines for details.
