Fellowships for early career physicists from SESAME countries

 

DPG Spring Meetings are regularly among the largest physics-conferences in Europe. In 2025, four DPG Spring Meetings will take place – each on different physical disciplines.

Thanks to the support of the Wilhelm and Else Heraeus Foundation DPG offers fellowships for early career physicists working at SESAME (Synchrotron-light for Experimental Science and Applications in the Middle East) and preferably coming from one of the SESAME member states to participate in these conferences.

 

Eligible are

• Early career physicists up to 8 years after obtaining their PhD,
• who are ready to contribute to the DPG Spring Meeting (typically by presenting a poster or a talk of their work) and
• who work at SESAME and preferably coming from one of the SESAME member states.

Application

• Applications will be proceeded via SESAME.
  We ask for personal data and an abstract of the work you intend to present at the Spring Meeting. Please add a letter of recommendation from your supervisor, your home institute or the leader of your working group.
• Deadline for application: 1st November 2024

Selection process

A jury of SESAME will assess the application and select up to 25 persons for a fellowship. All applicants will be informed by SESAME until 18th November 2024.

Fellowship

The fellowships covers:

• The conference fee,
• costs for travel and accommodation - upon presentation of appropriate receipts and up to a maximum of € 1,400.00 and
• a daily lump sum of € 30.00 for up to 6 days.

Please notice

• Fellowship-holders are requested to choose among the four DPG Spring Meetings the one which fits best their scientific activities.
• Fellowship-holders have to organise travel and accommodation by their own – DPG cannot assist in organising the trip.
• However, upon request DPG will provide the fellowship-holders with an invitation letter for visa purposes and also with a health-insurance for the time of the conference.
