What can be funded?
The format of fundable activities is left purposefully open so as not to limit the creativity and diversity of ideas of applicants. However, the activities have to be self-initiated and organized by PhD candidates and postdoctoral researchers of UZH and they have to be geared to junior researchers. Further, the applicants as well as other junior researchers have to be actively involved in the activity. GRC Short Grants can be also used as matching funds. See the following website for inspiring ideas from past projects: overview of funded projects |
What can funds be applied for?
The funding request should take into account the scope and the specific format of the activity. The amount of funding which can be applied for is maximum CHF 4'000. For financial support for projects with a greater funding volume please see GRC Grants. |
What cannot be funded?
* Should speaker fees be absolutely necessary, then the fees must be justified in detail in the application. ** Exceptional cases are conference papers or other similar publications arising from activities funded by GRC. An application for financial support for such cases has to be submitted separately after a successful accomplishment of the initial activity. |
