DPG - Funding opportunity for early career physicists | FTiMS - Politechnika Gdańska

Dear Teresa,

  I hope very much that this email finds you well.

  Today I would like to inform you about a new possibility for young
scientists from different European countries which we hope will bring
young people in Europe closer together. As you probably know the spring
meetings of the German Physical Society (DPG) are regularly among the
largest physics’ conferences in Europe. In 2026 there will be 3 spring
meetings [1] covering all aspects of modern physics.

  For many years, DPG’s “communication programme” offers financial
support for young physicists working in Germany to participate in these
spring meetings.

  Thanks to the Wilhelm and Else Heraeus-Foundation (Wilhelm und Else
Heraeus-Stiftung: English [2]), DPG was able to add an international
component to this communication programme and to offer 50 fellowships
for young physicists working in Middle- and Eastern European countries
and willing to participate in a DPG spring meeting. For 2026 we now have
been able to add Poland to the list of countries eligible to apply.

  The fellowships cover the conference fee, up to 520 € for travel and
accommodation plus a daily lump sum of 30 €. Candidates for the
fellowship must be approaching their PhD or have obtained their PhD not
longer than 6 years ago, they must be member in the Physical Society of
their country and must be ready to present (typically with a poster)
their work at the spring meeting.

  The deadline for applications for a fellowship from the international
component of the communication programme is November, 1st.

  For details and the application procedure see here:

  I would be happy if you could spread this information within your
society and especially among the young physicists working in your
country.


  With my best wishes,

  Karin
