The DUHK awards up to three one-month-grants for research activites in Germany. We adress scholars who work on topics of German or German-Ukrainian history in their (post-)doctoral or Master projects. The grant is intended to be used for activities such as archival work, the visit of specialised libraries and institutions and, if need be, the participation in relevant conferences in Germany.

Due to the circumstances of the war it is also possible to apply not only for Ukrainian scholars residing in Ukraine (which is the usual procedure), but also for Ukrainians who had to leave the country since 24 February 2022 or Ukrainian exchange students, who are residing in Germany since the winter term 2021/2022 and haven't been able to come back home. Scholars residing in Germany are excluded from the travel allowance. For scholars residing neither in Ukraine nor Germany the travel allowance will be calculated by the DAAD individually.

The grant consists of:
- One payment of 1200€ (for doctoral students) or 934€ (for Master students)
- Travel allowance of 350€

Deadline for applications: 04.03.2024
