PhD‐theses - Ethologische Gesellschaft

Research funds
Activities and Meetings
The goal of funding is to support
• Particularly promising pilot studies or investigations at an early stage that would not
normally be eligible to funding from governmental organizations or science foundations.
• High quality small projects or complementing research that otherwise stands little chances
of being funded because of its small scale (despite of its value).
• Applicants need to be actively involved in the project.
Deadlines for submission are 1 st January and 31 st July in each year. Applications have to be
sent by email to the manager (Jürgen Heinze). The EG provides a total of 2000 Euro for the
research fund each year.
