Third-party funding is often a key factor in realizing research projects. For early career researchers it also plays a crucial role in building a sustainable academic career. This workshop provides early career researchers with essential tools and strategies to confidently navigate the application process for third-party funding.

During this two-day workshop, you will systematically work on your own application for funding of a project in the postdoc phase – from refining your project idea, developing a sound project concept, and identifying suitable funding programs to your first draft of a convincing proposal in either German or English.

Qualification Outcomes

After the workshop, you will be able to

  • Refine your research project idea and translate it into a coherent project concept.
  • Identify appropriate third-party funding opportunities relevant to your field and career stage.
  • Understand the application process for third-party funding and manage the necessary steps at each stage.
  • Develop a first draft of a proposal that meets the structural and formal requirements.
  • Apply methods for developing a realistic work program, including time schedule and budget planning.
