VolkswagenStiftung announce the competition

Through this funding initiative the Volkswagen Foundation aims to stimulate scientific and scholarly interest in current developments in Central Asia and the Caucasus, on the one hand, and, on the other hand, to provide a sustainable contribution to capacity development in these countries by intensifying cooperation between scholars and scientists in Germany and the region. From the very beginning, the Foundation has given high priority to the promotion of early career researchers and, particularly in the framework of the funding line “structurally oriented measures”, has funded training and qualification measures for young researchers.

In order to support the training of PhD students in the region even more sustainably, the Foundation is planning to advance the establishment of structured doctoral programs at universities in Central Asia and South Caucasus, in coordination with local funding organizations. It is intended to publish the respective funding offer in the winter of 2016/17. To facilitate the conceptualization of such projects and the preparation of proposals, funds may be requested within this call to develop concepts and to establish an organizational and administrative framework for structured doctoral training.

The call addresses universities in Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia, as well as in Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan who, in close cooperation with universities in Germany, wish to establish the conceptual and infrastructural conditions for implementing bilateral doctoral programs at their institutions. The offer is open to faculties and departments in the humanities and social sciences as well as in the natural, life and engineering sciences.
