During the period of regular budget provisional, which occurs between 1st of January 2025 and the allocation of the 2025 institutional support for scientific and research activities (distributed through the Cooperatio programme), the FHS UK allows to apply for support for urgent expenditure on creative activities through the Cooperatio Provisional 2025 Call.
Under this call, priority will be given to funding scientific and research projects that are expected to be implemented in the first third of 2025. In case of approved financial support for a project under the Cooperatio Provisional 2025, invoicing of costs must take place by 31st May 2025. If the costs have not been invoiced by this date, the possibility of drawing financial support under the provisional period will cease, and the applicant will submit an application to the standard Cooperatio call, which will be announced after the provisional period has ended.
Projects planned for implementation later in 2025 may be submitted to the standard Cooperatio calls, which are expected to be launched later in 2025 as usual.
Cooperatio Provisional 2025 fund support is intended for academic staff who are part of individual Cooperatio groups at FHS UK and for students of doctoral study programmes who are also part of individual Cooperatio groups at FHS UK.
Doctoral students may only submit applications for support with the written support of their supervisor. This support may take the form of an email from the supervisor or a pdf. / word. document.
Without evidence of support for the application from the supervisor, the students application will not be accepted!
The Cooperatio 2025 Provisional call is open for research and project projects with a deadline for implementation in the first third of 2025.
Types of supported projects:
Publication of an article/monograph
Trip (participation in a conference, research and study stay, etc., which should result in a publication)

If your application involves a study / business trip, please note the following:
In the case of study / business travel, academic staff of FHS UK is legally entitled to a meal allowance of a certain amount. This should therefore be taken into account when budgeting. Please pay attention to the information provided on the website of the Department of Business Travel. In the case of travel by a person who is not employed by FHS UK (a student), the entitlement to meal allowances does not arise and therefore cannot be applied when planning the travel budget.
