LingLab distinguishes between three types of experiments:
Experiments with financial support from LingLab
LingLab receives a limited annual budget from the Dean's Office of the Faculty of Humanities. From this budget, we primarily support scientists who need test subjects for their experiments, who are rarely found at the University of Graz, e.g. due to the required native language. Full funding of experiments is possible.
Experiments with participation as coursework
LingLab strives to support participation in experiments from the LingLab program by assisting with the recognition of participation in experiments (with certain additional credits) in cooperation with the Dean of Studies Office.
Other experiments
LingLab can also list experiments that are funded by third-party projects or by other means. In this case, LingLab only helps with the search for test subjects.
