Principally, the Ph.D. students in GSN-LMU are financially supported by their supervisors in their working group. This may be via a stipend from different foundations or via employment. The type of funding may vary and is only up to the supervisor to decide. The GSN awards stipends, in exceptional cases only, for fast-track students, neurophilosophy research, or special cross-discipline projects. See our funding information for more details.
