Overview
Austria-based humanities and cultural-studies researchers can receive EUR 1,750 per month for a one-to-nine-month research stay abroad.
Complete grant details
GO.INVESTIGATIO supports research stays outside Austria for doctoral candidates and early-career researchers in the humanities and cultural studies who are affiliated with an Austrian university or non-university research institution. The grant is EUR 1,750 per month for one to nine months; the programme states that no further costs are covered. The 2026 online application form becomes available on 10 November 2026 and the application deadline is 10 December 2026. The official source does not publish a closing clock time, so no artificial machine deadline has been added.
Eligibility requirements
Applicants must be conducting a PhD or working as a researcher at an Austrian university or non-university research institution in the humanities or cultural studies. Their most recent academic degree, Master's or PhD, must generally have been completed no more than five years before the application deadline, subject to the programme's stated extensions and exceptions. The proposed research stay must take place outside Austria.
Tips for this grant
Practical Job and Scholarship guidance. These tips do not replace official rules or create new eligibility requirements.
- Check eligibility, funding coverage, study/project level and every required document before investing time in the application.
- Prepare transcripts, references, language tests, proposal/motivation statement and proof documents early.
- Separate the scholarship deadline from any university/program admission deadline; they may be different.
- Treat “fully funded” as a source fact only when the official provider explicitly confirms the covered costs.
Verification notes
Verified against OeAW's current GO.INVESTIGATIO programme and application pages. The 2026 form opens 10 November and applications close 10 December 2026; no official clock time is shown, so deadline is null while the date is stated in the record.
Job and Scholarship is the discovery and verification layer. Confirm eligibility, dates, salary/funding and application instructions on the original source before submitting anything.
