In order to encourage doctoral students to develop a world-class scientific project during their thesis, the TESS programme offers financial support known as a Booster. A lump sum of up to 10 000€ is awarded to a limited number of projects to contribute towards the costs of data acquisition (fieldwork, analysis, calculations, etc.) and equipment, etc. The funds are to be used to further develop a particular aspect of the thesis, increasing the visibility of the doctoral student and encouraging international recognition. Excellent students registered in the first year of their PhD at TESS member laboratories are encouraged to apply.
