The Universität Hamburg Equal Opportunity Fund is designed to promote general projects in the areas of studying, teaching, research, and administration as well as those that aim to dismantle gender discrimination.
The following projects and activities are eligible for funding:
- Projects (courses, conferences, exhibitions, research applications, etc.) relating to gender, diversity, and combining family and career. A maximum of €5,000 in funding is available per project.
- Scholarships for researchers to complete the final stage of dissertations and Habilitationen (postdoctoral qualifications) (max. 6 months). Precedence will be given to dissertations relating to gender/diversity as well as to applications from young female researchers with children or a relative requiring care. The completion scholarship amount is the same as for doctoral scholarships pursuant to the Hamburg Act for the Promotion of Young Researchers and Artists (HmbNFG).
- Measures to facilitate the reconciliation of career and family both for individual researchers (e. g., student support for young researchers with children or a relative requiring care) as well as those designed to make the University more family-friendly as a whole.
Information regarding the application can be found on the website of the Equal Opportunity Unit.
The deadline for the application is 15 April 2017.
