Outcome of call for funding PhD related activities
Dear EAA Members,
In line with the EAA Management Committee's decision and with the EAA Board’s approval to stimulate initiatives aimed at developing doctoral accounting education, the EAA Management Committee committed to provide a pool of funding for European-based students to attend European doctoral accounting education and training programmes. In particular this proposal was focused on helping students preferably from Eastern/Southern Europe gain access to already established doctoral activities/programmes. Following this objective it launched a Call for funding PhD related activities in July 2012.
The Call led to a wide variety of proposals consisting of 6 seminars and 4 EDENs. After a careful analysis of the very interesting proposals it was agreed to finance all of them taking into account the two criteria established in the Call: length and number of PhD students.
In order to take into account the targeted countries, it was agreed that from the allocated amount, at least 70% should be applied to students coming from institutions located in Eastern/Southern Europe (1), otherwise this part of the funds will not be transferred to the event.
The events and funds allocated are the following:
