EMF - Design of and Application for Third-Party-Funded Projects

This two-day workshop provides you with qualified support in developing your own project idea to the point of preparing your actual application for funding and assists you in identifying suitable sources of funding.

Veranstaltungsdaten

The continuous reduction in financial support provided by faculties, universities, and research institutions is increasing the importance of third-party funding for scientific projects.
This workshop delivers general information on structure and programs of research funding in Germany. Particular emphasis will be placed on differences in the logic of funding programs (what should be funded and why?), and on the requirements and formalities of each individual application.
