Schloss Dagstuhl wishes to enable the participation of junior scientists with a specialization fitting for the respective Dagstuhl Seminar, even if they are not on the radar of the organizers.
Thus, in seminars participating in the program, a certain – very small – number of spots may be available for outstanding applicants.
To be eligible, an applicant must be:
- new to Dagstuhl, (i.e., not having accepted a Dagstuhl Seminar invitation yet),
- at most five years after graduating with their first PhD (or equivalent) or at least two years into their first PhD program,
- currently doing research that lies in the field of the seminar, and
- unrelated to the seminar’s organizers (e.g., not working or having worked in an organizer’s group or having published with them).
A successful application just results in an invitation to the seminar, travel costs and the seminar fee will still be incurred and will not be reimbursed by Schloss Dagstuhl.
