Research Services

The Research Services support researchers in areas such as funding acquisition, project management, and recruiting. We work in a service-oriented manner and also see ourselves as an interface between researchers and the university administration. We are particularly committed to the internationalization of TU Braunschweig.

The Research Services is a designated office and is assigned to the Vice President for Research.

News

The EU Support Office of Research Services will centrally handle the preparation of financial reports for all Horizon Europe projects that start in January 2026 or later. This will significantly reduce the project administration workload for the institutes. The measures adopted by the Executive Committee in November 2025 are intended to encourage researchers to submit even more applications for EU projects, which can be more complex to administer.

Further details and contact persons can be found on the EU Support Office website.
