(For information) The Rules as they were for the 2013 ESSE Bursaries
In
2013, ESSE continues to offer TWO types of Bursaries:
Type A: a number of bursaries of up
to 1500 euros each will be available for scholars in need of support to
pursue a project or programmes of research leading to the writing of
their PhD dissertation. (The age limit for this type of bursary is 40!)
Type B: a number of bursaries of up to 1500 euros each will be available for scholars already holding a doctorate or its equivalent.
Type B: a number of bursaries of up to 1500 euros each will be available for scholars already holding a doctorate or its equivalent.
Applications
are invited from all member countries. Awards are made on the basis of
academic merit. Priority will be given to scholars employed at
Universities in Central and Eastern Europe who are in need of support
to pursue a project or programme of research.
Only one application is permitted by any candidate.
Bursaries
may not be used to support research trips begun or completed before the
Bursary Committee has announced the outcome of the competition.
Applications
for Type A Bursaries will not normally be entertained from candidates
who have previously been successful in that competition.
Applications for Type B Bursaries will not normally be entertained from candidates who have previously been successful in that competition.
Applications for Type B Bursaries will not normally be entertained from candidates who have previously been successful in that competition.
In the case
of both competitions A and B, winners are expected to make a short-term
visit to a country where they identify an outstanding holding,
collection, or other type of material relevant to their research.
Conference participation is not supported by these bursaries; award
winners may extend their visit at their own expense to attend a
conference in the country concerned, but no part of the conference
expenses will be covered by the bursary. Bursaries must be utilized and
the study trips completed by the application deadline for next year’s
bursaries, that is 1 March 2014.
After
completing the research trip, winners will be asked to send a financial
report to the Treasurer of ESSE and a report about their results to
both the Treasurer and the Chair of the Selection Committee.
Applicants
for the first type of bursary are required to be members of their
national associations affiliated to ESSE, except for those whose
associations do not consider PhD students eligible as members; in this
case, their supervisors or the department to which they are affiliated
must be ESSE members. Applicants for the second type of bursaries must
be registered members of their national associations affiliated to ESSE.
The deadline for applications for
both types of Bursaries is 1 March 2013.
Notification to the applicants should be sent (electronically) by 15 April. Applicants should send electronically to all three members of the Selection Committee:
