Wolfgang Grenke Entrepreneurship Scholarships

Since the beginning of 2025, there has been a framework agreement at KIT with the sponsor and entrepreneur Wolfgang Grenke for scholarships for doctoral candidates and young researchers with a research interest in the field of entrepreneurship (more information).

Conditions:

The scholarship for doctoral candidates includes a monthly amount of €1,750 for a maximum period of 4 years (tax and social security-free, based on the monthly scholarship rate of the Studienstiftung's doctoral funding).

The scholarships can be combined with an employment contract at KIT (25% position, TV-L E13), which includes tasks in teaching at EnTechnon (such as organizing and conducting courses and exams, supervising theses, and related administrative processes).

Participation in projects is not possible in combination with the scholarship.

The scholarship for post-doctoral researchers includes a monthly amount of €2,000 for a maximum period of 2 years, with the same conditions as above.

Currently, there is a specific doctoral opportunity in the context of the energy transition, but other topics related to entrepreneurship are also conceivable and should be coordinated with Prof. Terzidis.

If you are interested, please contact Prof. Orestis Terzidis and Tanja Himstedt with your CV, certificates, a brief statement of your motivation, and, if already available, your research interest.

And if you need any further assistance, feel free to ask!
