This programme targets junior post-doctoral researchers, particularly (but not exclusively) from Southeastern Europe, who are historians, anthropologists, linguists, and\/or scholars of cognate disciplines. It aims to provide financial support to kick-start new, innovative research projects, of up to 4,000 \u20ac per application. The funds will be awarded on the condition of a new and viable research or research project idea that follows the intellectual agenda and profile of seeFField. Openness to cross-disciplinary approaches and forms of exchange is a key precondition. The funds must be used in a project-related manner and in accordance with the principles and guidelines of the Volkswagen Foundation to cover for example, research costs, travel, research assistance, preparation workshops. We will award a total of two seed funding scholarships in the academic 2026\/2027 year. The funds can be used locally, there is no need to come to Regensburg to be eligible for the seed funding programme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
