Online Workshop for Early Career Researchers

Support and funding opportunities for your research in and on China  |  Fri, 11 October 2024, 12–13.30 h  |  Online via Zoom

The China Competence Network Ruhr Niederrhein (C-NET RNR) (https://www.cnetrnr.de ) invites you to join this online workshop to learn more about the various institutions in Germany that provide support and funding opportunities for your research in and on the People’s Republic of China.

What to expect: In our 1.5-hour workshop Dr. Christina Philips (DAAD Centre for International Academic Cooperation – KIWi) will provide an overview of the DAAD portfolio for PhD students and Postdocs interested in academic cooperation with China. She will also introduce KIWi and its services for German Institutions of Higher Education. The DAAD is Germany’s largest provider of scholarships. In addition, many other public and private bodies give financial support to junior researchers focusing on China. Important donors include the European Union, a large number of public foundations, and Germany’s federal government ministries. Arvid Kempf (Hans-Böckler-Stiftung) will acquaint us with CHIN-KoBe, a project for the advancement of Chinese competency among the scholarship holders of the 13 organizations for the promotion of young talent under the umbrella of the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF). The goal of CHIN-KoBe is to prepare students and junior researchers for a study or research stay in a Chinese speaking environment by strengthening their knowledge, language skills and experience abroad.

This workshop is aimed at all early career researchers (from pre- to post-doctoral levels) who are interested in academic cooperation with China.

The event is free of charge, but registration with info@cnetrnr.de is required for organizational reasons until 9 October 2024.

C-NET RNR is an affiliate project of AREA Ruhr (https://www.area-ruhr.de ), the Alliance for Research on East Asia within the University Alliance Ruhr.
