Application Process

We are happy to receive applications at anytime.

The program is exclusively for the so-called STEM subjects with a technical focus.

New since 2021: International scientists can be funded as well as german applicants.

Idea

When planning to take a job in Germany researchers abroad are often confronted not just with the problem of the time needed to attend a job interview in Germany but also the costs involved. For their part, public research institutions and universities are often unable to pay travel expenses from abroad.

The Dr. Wilhelmy-GSO Travel Expenses Program supports

  • public universities,
  • university of applied sciences, and
  • non-university research institutes

in their efforts to recruit staff internationally.

Under this program, travel expenses for attending job interviews in Germany from abroad can be refunded to a maximum of €2,000.

The program focuses exclusively on the so-called STEM subjects, including

  • science (Chemistry, Physics, Biology…)
  • technology, (Computer Science,…)
  • engineering,
  • mathematics.

A prerequisite for a successful application is a technical focus on the research subject.
