With the X-Tutorials, the Berlin University Alliance supports collaborative student research projects that are initiated and carried out by students: Two student project leaders work as a team with other students on a topic of their interest. The goal is to give students the freedom to work on their own research questions early in their studies.
Students interested in research can offer an X-Tutorial and receive a research scholarship in return. By offering this funding to students with a particular interest in research, the Berlin University Alliance has established the first research scholarship for students in the German-speaking region, providing a unique opportunity for the development of early talent.
X-Tutorials run over two semesters. Students can apply for funding twice a year through a call for proposals.
