The Laboratory for Nano-Optics deeply regrets the tragic accident and the death of Dr. Dmitry Fedyanin. We express our sincere condolences to Dmitry's family and friends. Dmitry was a recipient of a Walter Benjamin Position of the DFG on “Pulsed electrically driven single-photon sources on diamond” and since July 2023 he has been a research associate in our group. We have been collaborating since almost a decade on the electroluminescence from color centers in diamond. We mourn the loss of a good friend and of a talented young scientist.

Fellowships
Students can apply for a fellowship at the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) Every year, the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) supports well over 100,000 german and international students and researchers around the globe – making it the world's largest funding organisation of its kind. DAAD scholarships are aimed primarily at graduates, doctoral students and postdocs and are awarded for study and research visits to universities and non-university research institutions in Germany. In some programmes, internships are also funded. Please find more information here
The HYT Young Academy is a scholarship programme at the University of Siegen. The House of Young Talents (HYT) offers scholarships for those who are starting a master's degree or doctorate at the University of Siegen.

Deadline for applications: 21 January 2021, 12:00 (noon)! Please find more information here
The association “Study-promoting funds” (Studienförderfonds Siegen) has been granting scholarships in the amount of 2,500 euro since January 2008. The scholarships are granted for one year. Half the scholarships are given to particularly good students, the other half to students in need (providing the BAföG authorization) with good academic performance. After one year of financial support, the students begin to work as student assistants, if possible. Please find detailed information on application requirements here
Deutschlandstipendium, this funding program for students consists of financial support and ideational support.
The scholarships generally amount to 300 € per month (i.e. 3600€/year) In addition to financial support, the Studienförderfonds Siegen e. V. also provides offers, which contribute to the personality development and career, or job finding of the scholarship holders. This is the ideational support. It includes cultural events, company visits, specialist lectures, application training, business talks, excursions, scholarship meetings and the like.
