* For PhD applicants employed at non-member institutions: Your NATED member PhD programme institution is the starting point for financial support of participation at obligatory NATED activities. A maximum sum for travel cost covered by NATED is set per journey (at present: 2 500). Applicants from non-member institutions must therefore ensure that your institution will co-finance travel costs for participation in obligatory NATED activities (the NATED secretariat may provide further details).
