Settling Into Motion – The Bucerius PhD scholarship program offers up to eight scholarships for PhD students. In 2010, the proposals studying “Migration, Diversity and the Future of Modern Societies” are especially welcome.

Migration leads to increasing diversity in many countries all over the world. Sometimes this results in challenges of established institutions as well as cultural practices of modern societies. PhD students dealing with these broad issues in different regions of the world are invited to apply for a scholarship.

We encourage the following topics, but will also consider other approaches:
* Diversity and political order
* Migration and cultural, ethnic and religious diversity
* Integration policies
* Cultural policy and the management of diversity
* Concepts and categories in migration and integration debates
