Continuing Education Fund
The continuing education of the scientific staff of the University of Fribourg is a special concern of the CSWM. Continuing education events of various kinds offer mid-level staff the opportunity to incorporate new impulses into their own scientific research as well as into their didactic and scientific work at the university. Continuing education is therefore just as important for the current university activities of academic staff as it is for their professional advancement.
The CSWM Continuing Education Fund, administered by the CSWM Continuing Education Commission, offers financial support (expense allowances) to CSWM members in the context of their continuing education activities (conferences, etc.). This fund is financed by the Rectorate.
