Application

  • Once you have found the ideal potential host for your project, you can apply directly to them (not to the GWC!) by writing an application enclosing a letter of motivation, your curriculum vitae, a list of publications and an outline of your proposed project or statement of purpose. The more precisely you set out the reasons why you believe you can accomplish your project optimally with this particular host at GU and how you intend to finance your stay, the greater are your chances for success.
  • If you have the opportunity, you could also approach the individual concerned in person, e.g. at a meeting or conference. 
  • You might search for the contact details of your potential host with the following list of GU's faculties:



03 - Social Sciences



07 - Roman Catholic Theology 
13 - Physics 
15 - Biological Sciences 

  •  We regret that applications sent to the GWC cannot be processed or forwarded.
