The University of Utrecht has invited doctoral candidates to send in a short proposal for commissioned research before May 4, 2012.
The best proposal and presentation will be awarded with 500 euros (to be spend on e.g. a research trip or conference) and the second best with 100 euros (to be spend on books).
Your proposal may be based on your own field of research, but it can also be related to another issue.
