Research Materials<br />

Data Collection (In the field or in the Lab)<br />

<strong>ERIM</strong> supports research data collection. This support will only be available to the<br />

<strong>PhD</strong> candidates who have fulfilled their first year’s obligations and with a positive<br />

assessment of their research proposal. The support is based on the 50 / 50 actual<br />

cost matching principle with either the department where the <strong>PhD</strong> candidate is<br />

appointed and / or external sponsorship, with a maximum of € 2,500.<br />

Scientific and Educational Literature<br />

Per <strong>PhD</strong> candidate, a total amount of € 500 is reimbursable within two years of the<br />

start of the <strong>PhD</strong> project.<br />

International Research Activities<br />

Working visit to international supervisor<br />

<strong>ERIM</strong> supports outward working visits to international supervisor for <strong>PhD</strong> candidates<br />

after the positive assessment of the research proposal (first year). In their final year<br />

<strong>PhD</strong> students may ask <strong>ERIM</strong> for support in financing part of the inward travel<br />

expenses of their supervisor in his capacity of supervising / attending the thesis<br />

defense. The support is based on the 50 / 50 actual cost matching principle with<br />

either the department where the <strong>PhD</strong> candidate is appointed and / or external<br />

sponsoring, to a maximum of € 1,000 per visit.<br />

International Research Study / Visit<br />

<strong>ERIM</strong> supports international study visits of <strong>PhD</strong> candidates to another academic<br />

institution. Candidates in their third and fourth year are encouraged to visit and<br />

participate in another international research group in their area of specialization. In<br />

this way the candidate is enabled to professionalize his / her international academic<br />

peer‐relations. The support is for a research visit with a maximum duration of four<br />

months and is based on a “1/3 of the actual cost”‐ matching principle with two other<br />

parties: department where the <strong>PhD</strong> candidate is appointed and at least one external<br />

sponsor to a maximum of € 4,000.<br />

A request for an international research study contains the following elements:<br />

• A support letter of your promoter / supervisor<br />

• Overview of the aim of the study and planned activities<br />

• Description of the expected impact of the study on the quality of the results<br />

of the <strong>PhD</strong> research project<br />

• Budget estimation such as: housing, flight and other connecting<br />

transportation, settlement costs, visa, insurances.<br />

No daily allowance will be paid; <strong>ERIM</strong> will reimburse costs of living only in case these<br />

are evidently higher than in the Netherlands (Example of budget estimation is<br />

available through the <strong>ERIM</strong> Office).<br />
