Colloquiums for doctoral students
In supporting colloquiums for doctoral and post doctoral students, the Dutch Language Union is seeking to contribute towards a number of objectives:
- investment in the future of Dutch studies;
- contribution towards the autonomy of departments in staffing terms by giving young academics a chance to present their research to a critical audience;
- motivation of the promotion plan of doctoral and post doctoral students fulfilling an important role in the expansion of stable departments of Dutch;
- contribution to the qualitative intensification of Dutch university studies abroad.
Purpose
The colloquiums for doctoral students are intended as an academic forum where doctoral and post doctoral students can present their research to each other under the supervision of one or two academic specialists.
Criteria
The colloquium will be organised directly by an academic network or by a department of Dutch under the umbrella of an academic network.
Conditions
Participants of the colloquiums are researchers attached to a department of Dutch working on their doctorate or habilitation. To provide the colloquium with substantive supervision, one or two substantive experts can be invited. A department within the area will handle the preparation, organisation and further details of the colloquium.
Procedure
The organising department submits a substantive proposal together with a list of participants and an itemised budget to the Language Union. After assessment and approval of the proposal, the Language Union will allocate a grant for the organisation of such an assembly. This will extend to a maximum of 300 for each participant. No more than forty participants will be subsidised.
Financial accountability and substantive reporting
The financial statement of the grant should be received by the Language Union within three months. Not all financial records need to be included with this account. However, these documents should be stored for a period of five years by the academic network or contact point to enable the Language Union to check the financial statement on a sample basis. In addition to this financial statement, a substantive report of the colloquium is required.
