- danbruc 9y agoIf you are able to win this competition, then why wouldn't you get a job in that area and get a comparable amount of money every month instead of just once?
- rbanffy 9y agoNot nearly desirable enough to motivate someone to invest the time and resources (which I assume would be non-trivial). 12k for 3 months of work amounts to 4k per month, which is a low salary for someone with the kind of skills this requires.
- beojan 9y agoEven $5k for three months is comparable to the low end of the range for PhD stipends, and $12k is well above the high end.
