We are pleased to announce the call for applications for our 2023/2024 seed funding programme to commence in October 2023. This programme targets junior post-doctoral researchers, particularly (but not exclusively) from Southeastern Europe, who are historians, anthropologists, linguists, and/or scholars of cognate disciplines. It aims to provide financial support to kick-start new, innovative research projects, of up to 4,000 € per application. The funds will be awarded on the condition of a new and viable research or research project idea that follows the intellectual agenda and profile of seeFField. Openness to cross-disciplinary approaches and forms of exchange is a key precondition. The funds must be used in a project-related manner and in accordance with the principles and guidelines of the Volkswagen Foundation to cover for example, research costs, travel, research assistance, preparation workshops. We will award a total of two seed funding scholarships in the academic 2023/2024 year. The funds can be used locally, there is no need to come to Regensburg to be eligible for the seed funding programme.
