In 2025, the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar will be awarding at least one »Bridge Scholarship for Women Beginning Their Doctoral Studies«.

This bridge scholarship is aimed at female early career researchers and artists in the transitional phase between a Master’s degree, Diplom or State Exam and a doctorate/PhD. It is intended to serve as startup funding for the development of a doctoral project.
