Female Student Conference Grant

TRR 154 offers the opportunity to attend a scientific conference to female MSc-students in applied mathematics (at FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg, TU Darmstadt, HU Berlin, TU Berlin).

The grant will cover the costs of attending the conference and provide mentoring by one of the principle investigators and younger members of their research groups. The goal is to provide the students with mathematical insights, to enable them to get into contact with the scientific community and to gain experience in academic networking.

Mentoring includes introductory meetings before the conference to lay out conference topics and explain networking at conferences. During the conference the student has the opportunity to accompany the mentor and the mentor will be available for questions. In a meeting after the conference the experience is discussed.

Winners of the grant will be honored at

 ● Dies Mathematicus in Berlin,
 ● Ludwig Erhard Vorlesung in Nürnberg
 ● Christine Bernardi Lecture in Darmstadt

Application process:

Applications are possible at any time but at least 3 weeks before the application deadline for the corresponding conference.
Students who receive funding will provide a short report on their experience after the conclusion of the conference.
