ORIGINS Cluster members can apply for financial support to invite scientific visitors. The guests should be of interest for multiple research units and/or connectors and should give at least one scientific talk.
Applications for short-term visitors can be submitted anytime. Provided that your application has been submitted at least three working days before the next meeting of the Research Board (meeting dates), your application will be discussed and evaluated at that meeting.
Applications for long-term visitors will be accepted after the deadline depending on the remaining budget.
To apply, please fill out the respective web form: Visitor application (short- and long-term guests)
If you have any question concerning the scientific visitor program, please contact Alice Smith-Gicklhorn.
