Support

Academic exchange is the foundation for establishing and strengthening successful research networks. Through this call for proposals as part of the Ecoversity -Collaborative Space for Change initiative, TU Braunschweig supports projects by researchers who have been appointed to TU Braunschweig within the last 5 years, as well as by junior professors, tenure-track professors, and postdoctoral researchers to establish and strengthen their research in collaboration with colleagues at TU Braunschweig and its partner institutions (non-university research organizations, civil society, business, politics, and culture).

This gives researchers the opportunity to establish strong collaborations across disciplinary and institutional boundaries. In this way, the university provides crucial impetus for the future direction of research and collaboration aimed at solving global challenges.

The funding may be used to carry out research projects or workshops designed to promote scientific collaboration.

Academic exchange in both formal and informal settings strengthens networks: Through “Ecoversity – Collaborative Space for Change,” TU Braunschweig specifically supports initiatives that establish and expand scientific and science-supporting collaborations with external partners from research institutions, business, politics, culture, and society.

Funding is provided for projects in the areas of research, studies & teaching, knowledge transfer, and governance & administration within the regional ecosystem that involve at least one partner outside TU Braunschweig and demonstrate a concrete goal, such as building partnerships or empowering changemakers. Interdisciplinary approaches are expressly encouraged. All TU Braunschweig members (staff, students, and researchers) were eligible to apply. The funding comes from the “Spaces for Cultures” and “Ecoversity – Spaces for Collaboration” funds of the State of Lower Saxony.
