Benefits and requirements
Scholars will be expected to present the national policy or strategy they have developed at UIL. Furthermore, every 3 to 6 months following completion of their scholarship, they must report on follow-up activities and the results of their work.
UIL will provide each scholar with a workstation and access to the considerable resources of its unique library. In addition, scholars will have a chance to exchange knowledge with other scholars, UIL staff and its external partners. They will work under the supervision of a UIL specialist, but they should also be prepared to work on their own initiative.
UIL will arrange and pay for health insurance, accommodation close to the Institute, and a return economy ticket to Hamburg, Germany. Additionally, scholars will receive a lump sum contributing to other costs incurred before, during and after their research stay at UIL (such as visa costs, transport, and daily subsistence).
