Dear Applicant,

With this digital form you can apply as a doctoral candidate of Leuphana (incl. Doctoral Track students) for financial support for an (inter-)national research stay.

Please read this page and the funding guidelines for the Qualification Funds carefully before you start filling in the digital application form.

You can find the guidelines and information on the general and measure-specific eligibility criteria and answers to frequently asked questions in the Qualification Funds website: www.leuphana.de/qualification-fund

Please note that you cannot save an intermediate status of the digital form.

Therefore, before you start filling in the digital form, have the following documents ready as pdf files so that you can upload them at the end of the digital form:

  • A copy of the supervision agreement or an alternative proof showing the (working) title of the dissertation
  • an explanation of the necessity of the stay, including the confirmation of the first supervisor 
  • a copy of the invitation from the university, research centre or comparable institution stating the duration of the stay

If you do not currently have any of the above documents, you can submit them by e-mail (gradschool.qf@leuphana.de). You will receive further information about this from us by e-mail after you have submitted your application via this system.

Your application will only be deemed to have been submitted once the receipt has been confirmed to you by e-mail.
