This information session is aimed at advanced Phd students and researchers at the beginning of their postdoc phase. During the event, we will give you an overview and orientation on the current funding lines for the postdoc phase. This concerns funding programmes to carry out research at UBT as well as funding for research projects abroad.
We will give you a brief overview on German and European funding institutions as well as funding from the state of Bavaria and relevant foundations. In particular, we will look at:
- 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 groups in the Elitenetzwerk Bayern
- Marie Sklodowska-Curie Action Postdoctoral Fellowship
- ERC Starting Grant and ERC Consolidator Grant
For reasons of respect and fairness towards all participants and the workshop leaders, participants who miss more than 10% of the workshop are considered not to be present. You will therefore not receive a certificate and you will not be able to use the workshop in question to unlock funds or acquire further qualifications.
Before you register, please confirm with your supervisor/employer that you are free to participate in the course on that date.
