DOC-team
DOC-team [Doctoral Fellowship Programme for Teams from the Humanities, Cultural Studies and Social Sciences]
Objective
Funding for groups of doctoral students (3-4 people) from the humanities, social and cultural sciences and, if appropriate, with the involvement of doctoral students from the natural sciences, medicine or technology, who are working together to solve a problem that requires an interdisciplinary approach.
Discontinuation
In 2024, applications from early career researchers were approved for the last time as part of the DOC-team programme. After 20 years, the programme will no longer be continued.
The aim of the DOC-team programme was to promote and support interdisciplinary research, promote international cooperation and strengthen the institutional integration of doctoral students in the humanities, social and cultural sciences. Since the first call for applications in 2004, almost 450 applications from 130 groups have been submitted for DOC-team, 45 teams (= 146 persons) have been funded.
