Payment is made after the conference upon submission of receipts. 

Für PostDoc-Stipendien wird es dieses Jahr eine gesonderte Ausschreibung geben. Außerdem schreibt der DHd-Verband zum ersten Mal auch Reisestipendien aus, die nicht an die Teilnahme an der DHd2024-Tagung gebunden sind. 

Conditions

Target Group

Eligible applicants are students of a humanities or cultural studies field, especially from the area of Digital Humanities, i.e., Bachelor and Master students as well as graduates up to two years after their Master’s degree, or doctoral candidates for the doctoral candidate grants. These Early-Career Travel Grants are aimed at supporting students and graduates with interests and research projects in the field of Digital Humanities and their integration into the DHd community. 

Conference Accompanying Contribution

The grantees commit to reporting on their experiences during the conference or within four weeks after its end. Suitable formats include blog posts, day- or section-wise management of the conference Twitter/Mastodon accounts, photo or other multimedia documentations, and brief conference reports via other media channels. Further creative presentation and publication forms are explicitly welcomed and can be considered after consultation with the scholarship coordinator. The submission of the conference accompanying contributions must be done no later than four weeks after the conference, and the submission of accounting and receipts no later than eight weeks after the conference. 

Sustainability and Economy

The DHd Association supports sustainability. We encourage making sustainable decisions in travel planning. It is expected that grantees – if the timing of the grant award allows – take advantage of Early-Bird conference rates. Membership in the DHd Association is not required for the application and disbursement of the grant. However, we would like to point out that members of the DHd Association benefit from a significant reduction in participation fees at conferences of the Digital Humanities professional associations DHd, EADH, and ADHO.
