Travel Stipends of the AGBC
In 2024, the Bavarian American Academy—in cooperation with and the support of the American German Business Club (AGBC - Munich Chapter)—invites emerging scholars to apply for one travel stipend for research stays and residencies in the United States.
To qualify for the fellowship, applicants must be at work on a dissertation or post-doctoral project at a Bavarian university, and their research must have a transatlantic connection. In addition to conducting research, successful applicants will be expected to pursue networking opportunities in intercultural settings during their time as AGBC Fellows.
Stipend Amount
A single support amount of €1,500.
Requirements
We invite applications from candidates who have been awarded a master’s degree or PhD in the last three years (from the date of application submission). The research proposal should engage with transatlantic questions.
Projects from the following disciplines take precedence:
- Economics and Social Sciences
- Political Science
- Economic Geography
- Law
- Historical Sciences
Receiving funding from other sources will not disqualify applicants for the travel stipend.
Your Application
Your application materials must be in English, consisting of the following documents:
- Project proposal (roughly 2-4 pages)
- Curriculum vitae CV
- Schedule and timeline for your research stay in the United States
- Letter of motivation
Application deadline: May 24, 2024
