The HGS-HIRe Participant Education Projects (pep) provide a platform for HGS-HIRe participants to organize and conduct small workshops with a clear educational or training aspect.

Do you think your doctoral project would benefit from a small workshop where (invited) experts share their knowledge and experience?

Are you missing a HGS-HIRe lecture week or power week in our regular program and think that a certain topic would be of great interest for other HGS-HIRe participants or advanced master students, as well?

Then maybe the new HGS-HIRe Participant Education Projects is the way to go: Here is the idea:

• Find two more HGS-HIRe participants to organize the pep-event
• Write a small proposal (one page) and a financial plan (max. one page) for the educational workshop and send both to HGS-HIRe
• Find people interested to participate (min. 7 participants for a pep-event)
• Once approved, organize the pep-event self organized in your organization-team and make valuable experiences how to organize a workshop.
• After the event, send us the receipts for the costs of the workshop and HGS-HIRe will help to cover the costs with a maximum of 1500 Euro.

If you have any questions please let us know.

Details: A HGS-HIRe pep event can be funded with a maximum of 1500 Euros. The funding can be used to cover accomodation, material or travel costs and catering to a reasonable, limited amount. In the spirit of HGS-HIRe the focus of the pep-events needs to be educational, i.e. on the training of the participants. Support for scientific workshops in the usual manner or collaboration meetings can not be provided. There is no fixed application deadline for the HGS-HIRe pep-events at this point.
