Strategic Scientific Workshops

The Bayreuth Humboldt Centre supports Strategic Scientific Workshops by Bayreuth researchers in cooperation with colleagues working at universities or research institutions abroad. All Workshops are expected to deepen existing or establish new ties with a clear objective to create sustainable pioneering research networks for the University of Bayreuth.

The Executive Board of the Bayreuth Humboldt Centre selects the Strategic Scientific Workshops once a year as the result of a competitive selection process. The selection is strictly merit-based and the overall selection criteria are the academic excellence of the participants and of the proposed cooperative workshop as well as its strategic significance.

• The Workshop should take place in the surroundings of the University of Bayreuth, preferably on campus, for a minimum of two days.
  
• Eligible applicants are senior faculty members of the University of Bayreuth who cooperate with at least one international partner institution.
• The subject-specific Workshop has well-defined scientific and strategic objectives.
• The Centre may grant support up to €20,000 for each workshop.
