Process and conditions for scholarship holders of the "Doctoral Scholarship of the University of Innsbruck"
The scholarship is granted for a maximum of 24 months (until completion of the dissertation, i.e. submission of the thesis to the examination office), with an interim report after every 6 months, i.e. the scholarship is initially awarded for 6 months. The monthly instalments of EUR 1,070.00 will be transferred to your bank account. The prerequisite for this is that you accept the scholarship (i.e. send the declaration of acceptance - this is done via LFU:online).
4 to 6 weeks before the scholarship expires, you can apply for a further 6 months (via LFU:online), up to a maximum term of 24 months. The prerequisite for the extension is a proven progress of the dissertation, which is confirmed by the dissertation supervisor.
The 24-month period can be interrupted twice. The interruption may not last longer than 6 months, otherwise a new application must be submitted.
Regardless of how long a doctoral scholarship was received, a final report (max. 2-3 pages) with the supervisor's statement must be submitted to the Vice-Rectorate for Research within four weeks of the end of the scholarship ( forschungsfoerderung@uibk.ac.at).
If you publish a scientific paper as part of the study programme funded by this scholarship, all publications, including the dissertation, must refer to the scholarship awarded by the University of Innsbruck, Vice-Rectorate for Research. Furthermore, the affiliation to the author's institute and, above all, to the University of Innsbruck should be mentioned in the title.
Please send us both reviews after completion of the dissertation ( forschungsfoerderung@uibk.ac.at)
