Open Science Grants

The newly established Open Science Office at the University of Mannheim aims to promote and support open, transparent and reproducible research at the University of Mannheim.

In this context, the Open Science Office announces Open Science Grants for research projects and events with special Open Science relevance. This Open Science reference can manifest itself in the thematic orientation of the project, the methods used, but also the objective. The Open Science Grants are aimed at researchers from all schools/departments and scientific institutions. Eligible to apply are officially accepted doctoral candidates, as well as postdocs and (junior) professors employed full-time at the University of Mannheim. Applications can be made for up to 5,000 Euros for a project period of up to one year.

The following documents must be submitted for the university-internal selection procedure:

• completed application form
• short project description (1–2 pages)
• CV with list of publications

Please send the short applications for the internal selection procedure via email as one PDF document to Dr. Ira Maschmann (maschmannmail-uni-mannheim.de) in the Open Science Office by Monday, May 31, 2021. Dr. Maschmann will be happy to answer any questions you may have.
