Financial Support

Financial Support Programs suitable for your Research Career Stage

The LMU Munich School of Management offers a broad spectrum of opportunities and enable a “mix and match” that takes into account the cultures of the various sub-disciplines of business administration.

• Mentoring program

Support for young scientists accepted into the mentoring program on a case-by-case basis. Focus on advanced doctoral students and postdocs.

• MBR budget

Support for earlier-stage doctoral students in activities conducive to successful MBR studies (e.g., external summer schools) on a case-by-case basis, as well as funding for guest lecturers and support for MBR-specific courses (e.g., funds for experiments as part of the “Experimental Methods” course).

• Postdoc Support Fund

Support of specific initiatives at the postdoc level on a case-by-case basis.

• Alumni association

Support of conference trips and research projects on a case-by-case basis. Double funding through several programs or funding pools is excluded. Measures by the Postdoc Support Fund are subject to a maximum amount per individual request and a cap on the total budget. All funding decisions are made throughout the year on a rolling basis.

Details about the Postdoc Support Fund

The Postdoc Fund complements the portfolio of funding opportunities for early career researchers at the LMU Munich School of Management.

Funding formats

(1) Job Interviews,

(2) Recruitment at Conferences,

(3) Conference Travel,

(4) Long-Term Research Stays: Funding of €1500/month for up to 3 months, and

(5) Data, experiment equipment etc.

Deadline

Applications to the PostDoc Support Fund must be submitted sufficiently in advance of the start of the project to be funded. The submission should not be less than two weeks in advance. In justified cases, an exception to this rule may be permitted. In any case (i.e. even if the application is submitted two weeks before the project), the risk of the application not being processed on time and the associated refusal of funding lies with the applicant.

Projects in Coauthorship with LMU Professors

The aim of the PostDoc Support Fund is to promote the research and careers of young scientists. To this end, we consider it particularly important to support independent research work. With this in mind, projects carried out jointly with LMU professors are only funded to a limited extent. Funding for such projects is only possible in exceptional cases.
