The NCCR Evolving Language supports master students to facilitate master’s projects (both in our own and worldwide partner institutions) with a typical contribution of CHF 3’000 (max. CHF 5’000, amounts between CHF 3’000 – CHF 5’000 will need to be justified more forcefully). That contributes concrete research to a specific WP, off-setting, for example, fieldwork or experimental costs.
