The Berlin University Alliance maintains strategic partnerships with three international partners: the University of Oxford, the University of Melbourne and the National University of Singapore. Students enrolled at those universities are particularly invited to contribute to the Conference of Student Research in Berlin. The BUA offers up to 12 scholarships to cover travel and accommodation costs for the most talented applicants from Melbourne, Singapore and Oxford. The conference offers several English-language slots, so that a complete conference experience is guaranteed even for non-German speakers. If you feel addressed, please note the additional information.
