Additional Funding Opportunities: Conferences, Exhibitions, and Travel Expenses

The Martha Muchow Foundation supports nationwide projects in childhood research through a one-time grant for conferences, exhibitions, study trips, as well as film and book productions. The aim is to promote initiatives that, in line with the foundation’s objectives, focus on the action processes and perspectives of children and honor the life’s work of the educator and psychologist Martha Muchow. Funding is provided, among other things, for conference and exhibition costs, travel and study expenses, as well as production costs for media publications. Applications can be submitted informally at any time by presenting a project outline with the current planning status, the desired funding amount, and an explanation of how the foundation’s objectives will be met.

This funding is particularly aimed at early-career researchers and scholars in the fields of education, social, and human sciences who wish to develop innovative concepts to make children’s life worlds visible. In awarding grants, the foundation considers alignment with its statutes, a clear connection to Martha Muchow’s work, and the substantive quality of the project. Application documents include, in addition to the project outline and funding amount, a justification of how the results capture children’s perspectives and contribute to the scientific discourse. The uncomplicated application process encourages flexible planning and timely implementation of promising research projects.
