Description
The Carl Friedrich von Siemens Foundation offers ongoing grant funding in Bavaria for selected scientific conferences and workshops at its historic headquarters in Nymphenburg. Educational institutions and public organizations can easily submit an informal application, which should include information on the event framework, scientific benefit, planned number of participants, and possible timeframes. An additional brief exposé is optional. A prerequisite for support is secured funding for travel and accommodation costs from institutional budgets or third-party funds. The Foundation then promptly reviews event-related aspects such as duration, timing, and number of participants, followed by an assessment of the content-related added value for research.
Funding is provided for the use of the historic rooms and garden at the Foundation’s headquarters as well as catering and media technology. This creates a focused atmosphere that optimally supports exchange among scientists, universities, and research institutions. Travel and accommodation costs are not eligible for funding; securing these expenses is the responsibility of the applicants. This straightforward funding opportunity is aimed at all organizers wishing to realize innovative conference formats or thematic workshops. By combining a historic setting with professional facilities, the program makes a significant contribution to strengthening scientific discourse.
