Doctoral students at Leuphana University of Lüneburg can apply for funding from the the Junior Research Funds, the so-cal­led Nach­wuchs­fo­er­der­fonds (NWF) for training courses and other development measures.

Due to current travel restrictions caused by the coronavirus the following applies to currently incoming applications for funding for a qualification measure from the Junior Researcher Fund:

• Funding of travel and accommodation costs within the framework of a qualification measure is not possible for the time being.
• The date from which funding of these costs will be possible again depends on further developments regarding the travel restrictions imposed by the university.
• Participation fees are only eligible if the measure to be funded is offered in virtual/digital form.
