Description
This information session is aimed at advanced Phd students and researchers at the beginning of their postdoc phase.

• Individual research grants of DFG
• Walter Benjamin programme
• Emmy Noether programme
• Heisenberg programme
• Research projects of the Fritz Thyssen Foundation
• Humboldt postdoctoral fellowship
• Feodor-Lynen postdoctoral fellowship
• International junior research group in the Elitenetzwerk Bayern
• Marie Sklodowska-Curie Action Postdoctoral Fellowship
