Since spring 2020 the Field of Excellence “Dimensions of Europeanization” supports its principal investigators and associated members with seed money for academic events or project applications. A minimum of two principal investigators has to be involved. The interdisciplinary exchange within the Field of Excellence is strengthened and diverse collaborations result into fruitful activities.
The internal deadline for applications is March, 15 and October, 15. The final decision is made by the Field of Excellence’s Forum. Reporting on project development is required once. A second report is necessary in case a funded project could not be finished within six months.
