Within the scope of a closer collaboration in the area of energy and environment, the Lions Club Wien St. Stephan supports young academics and makes available since 2015 a sponsorship for PhD students of the TU Wien in the amount of € 4.000,-.

The funding serves the support for necessary expenses within the scope of the PhD study – in particular for study trips abroad, for the participation in national and international scientific congresses and for scientific publications.

The submissions are examined by a jury with representatives of the Lions Club and the TU Wien and are evaluated by general and scientific criteria (demonstration of the use of the subsidies, description of the scientific methodology, innovation degree of the work, as well as their potential).
