Irmgard Coninx Research Grant
The Irmgard Coninx Research Grant is designed as a recognition of an outstanding contribution to the Roundtables. The jury, including members of the foundation, workshop chairs, and members of the advisory board (former participants), will award the grant on the basis of the essay and the grant proposal.
The grant winners will receive a scholarship for an up to three-month stay at the Social Science Research Centre Berlin (WZB). The grant can be used for a variety of purposes relating to the grant winner's academic interests: field research, general readings, preparation of publications, writing of Ph.D. thesis and building new contacts in Berlin. The foundation provides accommodation in Berlin, covers the travel costs to and from Berlin and pays a monthly stipend of 1,000 Euro.
