Financing

Academic careers are multifaceted and take up a lot of time. Personal requirements, circumstances, and perspectives on life may change over time. The right financing for your project thus plays a major role in your success.

The Department of Equal Opportunity and Social Diversity is your contact point when it comes to funding options for female scientists in early and advanced career phases.

Get an overview of your options on the following pages.
