Applications Lucie Timmermans Fund
The Lucie Timmermans Fund supports young researchers at Wageningen University & Research in the field of animal biology in the specialisations: experimental zoology, animal cell biology, entomology and animal physiology. The fund offers support to make a study trip or to write a project proposal for a PhD to attract funding. Preference is given to female applicants, or someone who is otherwise part of a group that is underrepresented in science.
Who is eligible
The fund provides support for two types of activities:
Travel grant
The travel grant of up to €2,500.- is intended for an international networking trip to a foreign university or research institute and/or attending a conference. The travel grant is, in Lucie’s spirit, aimed in the first place at female MSc-graduates and PhD-candidates/postdocs (younger than 35 years). If you are not female but part of an group underrepresented in science with a social disadvantage, please motivate your application and explain what type of group you are part of.
PhD proposal writing grant
MSc-researchers who are aiming for a PhD position and are writing a research proposal, can apply for a research grant. The fund awards the chosen projects with a maximum amount of €5.000,-. The grant improves the chance of a proposal being funded by another funding organization. Activities could be e.g. the collecting of pilot data to strengthen a research proposal.
