Deadlines for funding, calls & scholarships
40. DVSM-Nachwuchssymposiums: «Critical Musicologies: Zwischen Kanonizität, Lehre und künstlerischer Praxis»
Each year, the German Association of Musicology Students (DVSM) organises a symposium for young scholars, inviting students to submit proposals for its conception and implementation. For the 40th DVSM Young Scholars Symposium, the conference concept submitted by Musica Inaudita, titled «Critical Musicologies: Zwischen Kanonizität, Lehre und künstlerischer Praxis», was selected. The symposium will critically examine canons in concert and music programmes, particularly in musicology, thereby engaging in a critique of canons and pedagogy.
More information can be found here.
Deadline: June 30, 2026
Information on funding and scholarships at the mdw can be found under Funding & Scholarships and on the Research Funding homepage. All current funding for PhD students is also bundled and sent out in the Graduate Centre newsletter.
