The scholarships vary from DM2,400 for an unmarried grant-holder working in his home country to DM3,700 for a married person working in the United States of America. Travel allowances Travel allowances should enable PhD students and postdoctoral scientists to visit laboratories further afield in order to study clearly defined techniques useful for their ongoing research and the work of their research group at home. In addition, the Foundation supports participation in research-orientated courses and summer or winter schools where a selected number of participants learn clearly defined techniques in practicals as well as in lectures and discussions. Vocational training or the attendance of conferences, symposia and workshops are not financed. PhD students should not be older than 30 and postdoctoral scientists not over 32 years.
Nationality is irrelevant.
Applications for travel allowances can be submitted to the secretariat at any time of the year. A decision will be reached within six weeks. It is expected that the home institution will continue to pay the applicant's revenues and the host institute will cover his research-related costs. The Foundation must be notified if an application is submitted to any other research-sponsoring institution. Should an applicant accept an award from another institution prior to the Foundation's decision, the secretariat must be notified without delay.
