Marie Jahoda Grant

19.01.2023

With the Marie Jahoda Grant, the University of Vienna aimed to support female, highly qualified postdoctoral researchers who had to reduce or interrupt their research activities because of care obligations in their families or close environment.

Starting in 2014, the grant (formerly Back-to-Research Grant) has been issued every year from the rectorate's ressources. With Marie Jahoda, a renowned social scientist who started her career at the University of Vienna lends her name to the grant. In the winter semester 2022/23, up to 10 grants set at EUR 30,000.00 each were awarded from the ressources of the rectorate.

The Culture and Equality unit coordinated the grant and its award process.
