University of Leoben (Leoben/Austria) - Rudolf Posselt travel support

What the Rudolf Posselt travel support gives you

You will receive a one-off grant to fund a study trip as part of your studies or research. You can use this, for example, to attend a conference, undertake a research stay abroad or visit another institution for academic exchange. The money comes from a travel endowment fund established by Prof. Dr Rudolf Posselt at the Technical University of Leoben (Montanuniversität Leoben) in Austria. The exact amount is not disclosed. It is determined on a case-by-case basis for each trip and paid out as a one-off sum for that specific trip. Previous scholarship recipients have used it to travel to conferences and research laboratories in the United States whilst working on their doctoral theses.
