26 May 2025 ||3:30 p.m. - 5 p.m. || online via Webex (see below)

Just finishing your PhD and wondering whether the DFG offers funding for your next career step in academia? Either after your PhD in Germany to move on to another host institution – or after your PhD in an international context to realise your next research project in Germany? The Walter Benjamin Programme offers both options for early postdocs. 

In our talk, you will get first-hand information about the DFG funding organisation, the aim of the Walter Benjamin Programme, its eligibility requirements and the type, the scope and the duration of the funding. We will explain how the DFG arrives at a funding decision and give you tips on how to prepare a proposal. We will be happy to answer your questions during and after the talk.
