What can I apply for support for?
Academic funds can be awarded to Master's students for the completion of their thesis, which includes excursions, seminars, conference participation, and support for fieldwork, provided that the objective of the trip is relevant to the Master's thesis.

- justification for why the event is relevant to the completion of the Master's thesis
- budget with expected expenses
- brief approval from the supervisor (e.g. in an email)
