Table of contents
What are GRC Peer Mentoring Grants?
The Graduate Campus Peer Mentoring Grants provide junior researchers with the means for funding activities of peer mentoring groups. |
What kind of activities can be funded?
Appropriate measures and a suitable program are formulated for the implementation of the groups' clearly defined goals, taking the composition of the group into account. The program can, for example, include the following activities:
The groups are encouraged – taking the requirements of internal cohesion and a limiting of the maximum number of participants into consideration – to share the added value of the group with as many PhD candidates and postdoctoral researchers as possible, for example through a public event (workshop, panel discussion, etc.). |
What can funds be applied for?
The funding request should take into account the scope and the specific format of the activity. The maximum amount of funding for peer mentoring groups is CHF 10'000. In addition, there is a maximum of CHF 500 per group member. |
What cannot be funded?
* Should speaker fees be absolutely necessary, 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. |
