The Landelijk Netwerk Vrouwelijke Hoogleraren (LNVH) is pleased to announce the Distinguished Women Scientists Fund, a travel grant for female postdocs – up to 3 years after their PhD and from all disciplines, working in the Netherlands – who wish to travel abroad as part of their research projects.
Funding Information
- Created for female postdocs up to three years after their PhD, residing and working in the Netherlands, who, within the framework of their discipline, wish to travel abroad.
- The maximum amount for a travel grant is 1.500 euro.
Eligibility Criteria
- Postdocs, up to three years after obtaining a PhD, working in the Netherlands. The 3-year term can be extended by a term of 18 months per child, due to pregnancy and birth, or by a term of, at most, 18 months, compensating for the necessary care given to family members.
- Other relevant circumstances for extending the 3-year term (such as career breaks, sabbaticals or part time appointments) will be taken in consideration as well. Applicability of the extension clause is evaluated individually for each application.
Conditions
- The travel grant is solely intended for journeys made within the framework of the discipline – e.g. visiting a foreign scientific institution; field- or archive research, or an internship.
- The candidate can submit a budget for travel-related costs, to a maximum of the amount as stated.
- The candidate is obliged to take out a travel insurance, at least covering cancellation. If the situation arises, costs that are not covered by the insurance can be passed on to the candidate. This will be evaluated for each individual case.
- On return, candidates need to submit a short record of expenses made (i.e. plane tickets, lodgings etc.).
