13.06.2024 Informational Event: Funding Opportunities of DFG and VolkswagenStiftung for Postdocs
In this online informational event, you will have the opportunity to obtain in-depth information on the topic of acquiring third-party funding. Representatives of both the German Research Foundation (DFG) and VolkswagenStiftung will present comprehensive overviews of their funding programs. Afterwards, we continue with a panel discussion on the topic of "Academic (Grant) Writing with AI".
Successful careers in academia are almost inseparably linked to the successful acquisition of third-party funding. Finding, applying for and being given the "right" type of grant can be a tremendous boon to any researcher's career. But how does one navigate the sprawling landscape of academic funding? How does one determine which program is suitable for the current or next step in their career?
To answer these questions — and related ones — we are hosting a digital informational event on June 26, 2024 from 1.00 pm to 3.45 pm.
