Which funding options are there, which are relevant for me and how do I proceed? The successful acquisition of third-party funding is becoming increasingly important for the postdoctoral academic career path. This event will provide an overview of different possibilities to apply for financial support for your own research project and your own position, and practical advice on how to apply. Furthermore, Dr. Pavla Schäfer, who has successfully acquired a DFG project, will talk about her experiences.

WHAT? The lecture series “Managing research” provides a comprehensive overview of how to initiate your first postdoctoral research project and the building blocks for a successful application and implementation. The lectures are given by experts and relevant contacts at the university. There will be time in each session to answer your questions.
