Application for MAXQDA Research Grants for Early Career Scientists is currently ON!
The #ResearchforChange grant is an initiative of VERBI Software that aims to support researchers, research projects, and networks. The grant provides financial support and methodological training for early career researchers whose work aims to investigate, support, and raise awareness of empowerment initiatives.
MAXQDA Research Grants Theme: Empowering Women and Girls
As a contribution to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal #5 ‘Gender Equality’, we dedicate this year’s MAXQDA #ResearchforChange grants program to the empowerment of women and girls in the areas of economic, social, political, cultural, legal and environmental participation.
In recognition of the indispensable role of equal participation of men and women in all dimensions of development, we at VERBI GmbH want to support young scientists conducting research in this area with 3 Research Grants totaling $1,650.00 each.
