The event you seek funding for should serve as a meeting place for sharing insights, presenting research findings, fostering or strengthening cooperation, exchanging knowledge and/or expanding the impact of the research conducted within the context of the Digital Legal Studies project. Funding can be used to (partially) cover material expenses and external services for organizing the event. Examples of eligible expenses include travel arrangements for speakers, rental of venues, conference materials, and services provided by virtual conference platforms for the hosting of online events.
To ensure a fair allocation of the available funds between different activities and partner institutions, we have set a maximum funding limit per proposal depending on the type of event you are seeking support for. We distinguish between three types of events eligible for funding:
1. Home-grown events
Events that are initiated within the context of the Digital Legal Studies project and coordinated by project members, such as the collaboration’s annual Digital Legal Talks conference as well as smaller events and activities.
Funding limit: €8,000
2. Partnering events
Major events such as international conferences hosted by a partner institution, which the Digital Legal Studies project is embedded into and/or which provides a large platform to showcase the collaboration.
Funding limit: €4,000
3. Invitational events
Scientific events of any size and type organized by a partner institution, which individual Digital Legal Studies project members can participate in and benefit from.
Funding limit: €1,500
