State grant holder

I have been informed that the University of Tartu has decided that I am (as a PhD student at Department of Semiotics) to receive an Estonian state grant from October to December. The state grant is 6.000 Estonian Kroons (EEK) per month - approximately 3.100 NOK or 384 Euro.

The grant has not been given before because thus far I've received a monthly stipend partaking in the research project "The Cultural heritage of Environmental Spaces" (where my participation ended in September). If successful, an application for a new research project, "Environmental Semiotics: Theory and Applications in Changing Culture and Environment" would imply me being an 'Extraordinary researcher' with full work-load starting January 2011.
