Grants for professional development for TA staff
Grants are available for participation in courses, conferences, congresses and the like. Applications for funding must be made in good time before the activity starts, after which an individual assessment is made regarding previous awards to the applicant. Funding cannot be awarded in two successive years. Grants are not awarded to persons who have been admitted to doctoral education or to research projects.
A grant application has to include the purpose, date and content of the planned activity, along with a calculation. The application also has to include a statement of reasons by the applicant and be approved by their head of department or equivalent. Since grants are awarded for up to half of the amount applied for, the application has to be accompanied by a certificate from the head of department stating that the remainder will be financed via the department.
