Financed from the budget of the Margherita von Brentano Center, Seed Funding Grants for innovative and interdisciplinary projects in the field of gender studies are available.
All members of the MvBZ, i.e., researchers at all career stages and professors, are eligible to apply. Students cannot become members and are therefore not eligible to apply. The application must be submitted by two members from different institutes or institutions (FB, ZI, ZE) at the FU Berlin.
Funding lines for former funded projects until 2022 have been discontinued. For current funding, projects are selected that
1. are convincing due to their interdisciplinary orientation, and
2. are innovative, i.e., in which new questions and methods are tested or new theoretical approaches to gender studies are developed.
Funding can be provided, i.e., for workshops or retreats for the intensive preparation of an application or publication, smaller preliminary studies, data collection, data analysis, or feasibility studies. The funds can be used, i.e., for the preparation and implementation of joint publication projects, provided that these serve as evidence of preliminary work for a planned research application.
Information on the last call for proposals can be found HERE.
