#YML Funded Research
#YouthMediaLife supports researchers connected to the platform at all levels of their careers, from Master’s degree via PhD students to post-doc researchers.
The research platform’s Seed Grants support the proposal writing stage for candidates who are planning to submit a project proposal at pre- or post-doc level with national or international funding institutions. Seed Grantees are part of the research platform, contribute to our discussions and debates and receive academic and strategic input by other members.
Boost Grants support original research projects that reflect the aims of our research platform. Boost grantees present their projects to the research platform and prepare blog or social media posts about them.
In addition, the research platform awards travel stipends to graduates and Master’s degree students with papers relevant to the platform’s research questions to facilitate first conference experiences ("Konferenzschnuppern").
