Does your thesis have a connection to Lahti? Could it have one? Lahti University Campus grants 500-euro start-up grants for the early stages of thesis work for University of Helsinki and LUT University students.

The prerequisite is that the thesis (Bachelor’s thesis, Master’s thesis or dissertation) is planned or started in cooperation with a company or organization in the Lahti region, or that the thesis is in some other way beneficial for the region.

The purpose of the start-up grant is to help get you started. You can use the money (for example) for travels to Lahti, contacting, or other kind of planning.

You can get help from the Lahti University Campus to find local partners.

The decision on the start-up money will be made approximately within a month from the deadline. In case we get a lot of applications we will prioritize thesis work done in Lahti and/or theses that are on their early stages. Funding is primarily awarded for Bachelor’s and Master’s theses.

Start-up money will not be granted to people who have already received it in the past. Start-up funding cannot be granted to persons who are employed by the University of Helsinki.

We will feature the recipients in our social media channels. By applying you commit to briefly report back later on how your work is progressing.

Deadline for applications is March 20.
