Thanks for your advice! 🙏🏻

Anyone familiar with this funding scheme or knows someone, who can give me some more concrete advice? Grateful for any advice or repost. 🙏 n/n

Now, I'm in a dilemma. I would like to apply, but I am worried that I put a lot of effort and my application will end up in a 'maybe pile', or worse, not be considered at all if there are a lot of good applications from German, Austrian, or Swiss nationals 😬 4 /n

They hinted that exceptions might be possible based on convincing arguments, especially if I can prove in my application that I am really integrated into this system and I imagine my future career in Germany🤔 3/n

Here's the twist: I've done my master's and PhD in Germany, so I can prove that I am integrated into the German system, despite not being a German citizen. I reached out to the program coordinator for clarification on these requirements, and got a bit of a cryptic response. 2/n

I am very grateful to Daniel Schneider, who guided me throughout this journey! Big shout-out to 2 other amazing communities #WomWom and WiCs+ & WiCs Europe (Women in Cognitive Science) - your support means everything to ECRs! Finally, big thanks to my colleagues, who were always there for me! ✨ 2/2

Everything looks sooo delicious! 🤩

I am so happy for you! Congratulations! 🍾🎉

Hahaha, that’s hilarious 😂

Haha, I had the same thought as @lauraklatt.bsky.social … and your Christmas tree 🎄😻
