Travel and Guest Funding
HCM offers funding for business travel and for guest visits to its members and associated members. Please note, that by applying for travel funding via HCM you thereby agree to being reiumbursed in accordance with our guidelines. The same applies for guest funding and its relevant guidelines.
Postdocs and PhD students should use the HSM form found here to apply for travel funding.
Applications for funding through a Research Area (RA) or an Interdisciplinary Research Unit (IRU) are decided in consultation with the Research Area Leaders. When applying, please make sure to select the correct RA, so your application can be forwarded accordingly. If you are not connected to a RA (for example, if you work in the areas of mathematics education or outreach), please select "No RA" in the forms.
If you have been offered personal funds from HCM for travel and guests - as a Bonn Junior Fellow, for instance - you can access your funds independently by using Travel Self Services or by contacting Cécile Kühn, who is also supervising your HCM funds.
HSM (and BIGS) Funding and Early Career Programs
We have dedicated funds to support business travel to conferences, workshops etc. for PhD students and Postdocs. If you are a member of HSM (and/or BIGS Mathematics) you will find all information on travel funds, as well as on how to apply for special programs such as the Global Math Exchange Program or Junior Research Retreats on the HSM website.
Funding and Support for an HCM Event
HCM funds and administratively support events of different kinds: workshops, lecture series, conferences etc. If you would like to apply for HCM funding for an event please submit a detailed application to Magdalena Balcerak Jackson. You are also strongly encouraged to talk with Magdalena in person about your plans prior to submitting an application. All applications - that are not for schools or other early career events -are decided by the Board of Directors.
Statute and Membership
You can download our current statute here. You can also access the application form to become a member or an associate member of HCM. Postdocs employed at one of the four mathematical institutes of the University of Bonn can and should become associate members of HCM via becoming members of HSM first.
