Publication Cost Subsidies
The Potsdam Graduate School can grant its members - PhD candidates and Postdocs & Qualification Professors of the University of Potsdam - subsidies for publications. This is done in the context of your PhD or Postdoc project in order to secure the results of your own research work and to make them accessible to a professional audience. There is no application deadline. You can submit your application for a subsidy at any time
Please note: The provisional budget has a significant impact on PoGS's funding opportunities. As our funding budget is financed by budgetary funds, all activities must be checked for necessity before funding is granted. We are not allowed to approve any funding without prior approval from Department 4 (Budget and Procurement). For all new applications for financial support, we require the funding application and the check sheet completed by you. We will then forward the funding we have approved to Department 4 together with the application. After approval by Department 4, you will receive the funding commitment from us. Further information on provisional budget management and the check sheet can be found on the intranet of the University of Potsdam (in German).
All funding commitments from 2024 are still valid. We do not require a separate check sheet for the settlement of grants approved in 2024. Please submit the documents for settlement to us as usual for further processing.
Prerequisite for a subsidy
- Membership in the Potsdam Graduate School
- Peer reviewed publication of your own research results
- PhD Candidates: Publication costs can be applied for peer-reviewed publications of your own research results in the context of your dissertation or Postdoc projects. The Potsdam Graduate School grants subsidies for printed publications that are available in the book trade and for electronic publications - but not for the printing and binding of deposit copies.
- Postdocs & Qualification Professors: As a postdoc you cannot receive a "postdoc subsidy" for publications that are part of your dissertation. If you were previously a member of the PoGS as a PhD candidate, you can take advantage of the "PhD candidate Subsidy" in compliance with the applicable criteria.
