The Center for Intercultural Studies takes grant applications for pertinent academic projects, including guest lectures and conferences. The Center considers empirical as well as theoretical and methodological works that are designed to advance the discussion of central terms, concepts and models of intercultural research. Special consideration is given to projects that are situated within the Center's areas of specialization, Intercultural Encounters, Near and Middle East, and Cultural Pluralism. Applicants must have a Ph.D. degree. The maximum amount of funding for two-year projects is generally DM 30 000.
Modifications are possible especially for joint group applications.
Financial support may be provided for grant applications submitted to sources outside of the university. At least half of the Center's funding is designed for the advancement of junior faculty members. In general, there are two deadlines for submission each year, one in mid-January and one in May. Applications should be submitted to the Director of the Center. The Deans are asked to inform the members of their Departments of this announcement.
