Call for proposals for a program as part of the cross-university project "Close the Gap"
The "Time Packages" program is aimed at female academics at the University, the University Hospital, the Technical University, Hafen City University and the University of Music and Drama, and is funded by the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg.
It offers female doctoral candidates and academics (postdocs, mid-level staff) at the HfMT - especially those with family responsibilities - as well as academics who can prove that they have family responsibilities, the opportunity to acquire 1 to max. 5 "time packages" for the implementation of an academic or artistic-academic project, each amounting to 1500 euros per month.
The program is intended to counter the trend that women are increasingly falling back into traditional role models due to the corona crisis, disproportionately managing family responsibilities and putting their scientific projects on hold. The Hamburg Ministry of Science, Research, Equal Opportunities and Districts (BWFGB) has provided the HfMT with financial resources of 30,000 euros for this purpose. The cross-university support program "Close the Gap" offers participants networking events and evaluates the program.
The "time packages" are to be used to finance measures that support the researchers in their publishing activities, e.g:
- as scholarship months to work on dissertations or other scientific texts (in combination, for example, with a requested special leave);
- for teaching support by lecturers or assistants;
- for renting a workspace outside the family home;
- for additional childcare costs or household help;
- as a printing cost subsidy for the publication of scientific papers published during this period.
- as a grant for the implementation of artistic-scientific projects as part of a dissertation;
- for the financing of possible offers from the joint pool of the inter-university collaborative project "Close the Gap" (such as proof-reading, work retreat, etc.).
The duration of the program is divided into two phases: 1st phase 1.1. to 31.12.2021. Second phase 1.1. to 31.12.2022.
Written applications with project description and financial planning for the use of the requested funds can be submitted to the Office of the Equal Opportunities Officer for the year 2021 from now until February 15, 2021. For the 2nd phase in 2022, applications can be submitted from October 1 to November 30, 2021.20 "time packages" are available in total; a maximum of 10 time packages will be awarded in the first phase.1 to max. 5 "time packages" can be acquired per person once. Applications from applicants with family responsibilities will be given priority (please enclose birth certificates of children).
Participants undertake to submit a report on the progress of their scientific project and the use of the funds at the end of their project period. They should also take the opportunity to participate in the cross-university networking events and in the evaluation by the joint project.
