Research Funding Network

The Research Funding Network at TU Braunschweig aims to support scientists with their research proposals.

The focus here is on the areas of:

  • Advice and support for proposals for coordinated programmes of the DFG (e.g. Collaborative Research Centers, Research Training Groups)
  • Support for DFG Individual Research Grants proposals, in particular for first-time proposals
  • Support for early career scientists (e.g. Emmy Noether Programme, ERC Starting Grants, Walter Benjamin Programme)

The network includes scientists of TU Braunschweig with many years of experience - in committees and with applications. They support applicants of TU Braunschweig and those who want to come to TU Braunschweig with their research grants. The members of the network provide expert feedback and share their experiences regarding the proposal structure and the application process. There is no quality control of the research content. All consultations are strictly confidential.

Applicants inform the DFG Liaison Officer about submissions, approvals or rejections of proposals to the DFG. The DFG liaison officer advises on the various funding opportunities offered by the DFG and on submitting proposals, especially first-time proposals. In particular, he can act as a mediator in the event of conflicts of interest and incomprehensible funding decisions.
