Funded by:
- Only teaching staff can apply for PROMOS funding for field trips.
-
Important note for lecturers who organize field trips on a regular basis:
It is not possible to receive PROMOS funding annually for identical or very similar field trips per lecturer, department or institute. An identical or very similar application per lecturer, department or institute can only be considered every second calendar year.
This regulation is valid starting from January 1, 2025. Please note that field trips which were funded by PROMOS in 2024, taking place in a similar form in 2025 again, can unfortunately not be subsidized again in the PROMOS funding year 2025. Due to the tight PROMOS funding situation, the PROMOS selection committee of Ruhr University Bochum decided on this restriction, which is based on the DAAD's identical regulation on inbound field trips.
- Field trips can be funded by PROMOS from a minimum of 5 up to a maximum of 15 students and/or PhD candidates and from a minimum of 5 up to a maximum of 12 days (including travel days).
- The trip must be accompanied by at least one supervisor. She or he can also be funded.
- In exceptional cases, organised field trips with a duration of up to 30 days that include attendance of courses at one of RUB's partner university can also be funded.
- In addition to imparting subject-related knowledge and providing an insight into the host country, the focus should be on meeting students and academics.
- Funding for compulsory excursions and measures that have already been carried out is excluded. Likewise, trips with a predominantly touristic programme and lecture and congress trips are not eligible for funding.
- Non-German RUB students can be sponsored if they are enrolled with the aim of obtaining a degree at RUB.
- Field trips in their home country, or the country in which the student has predominantly resided for at least five years. are excluded for non-German students.
