Stiftung Bildung und Wissenschaft – Projektförderung Wirtschafts- und Sozialgeschichte

The Stiftung Bildung und Wissenschaft funds a research project where two doctoral researchers write their dissertations. Each fellow receives €1,500 per month for up to two years, with the possibility to extend to up to three years after the institute submits the required report. Up to €20,000 in travel and material costs is also available. Private individuals cannot apply; the request must be submitted by a university institute that trains doctoral researchers.

Monthly stipend of €1,500 per fellow and up to €20,000 for travel and material costs; continuation possible for up to three years; required annual and final reports throughout the project duration.

The application is submitted by a university institute (not private individuals) that trains doctoral researchers; the project must focus on German and European economic and social history, preferably post-World War II.

Applications are submitted in two stages via the Stiftung's online portal; the institute first uploads a short project description, then a full proposal if invited.
