A central question for young scientists is that of funding the dissertation project or subsequent research projects. The well-thought-out selection of the sponsor and a well-planned application are essential, especially with regard to limited funding and the generally highly competitive award procedure. It is therefore all the more important to find out about suitable financing options in good time and to get to know the rules of the game for science and research funding.
In this workshop, participants can get an overview of potential funding providers and various funding programs and grants for different phases of their academic careers. The focus is on funding opportunities for dissertation projects.
In addition, participants will train to explore the strengths and weaknesses of a project proposal by evaluating a current project proposal and comparing their own results with comments from official experts. This and practical tips from a successful applicant will be of use to the course participants in successfully developing their own funding application.
