- Short outline of the planned project (max. 3 pages),
- CV,
- List of publications,
- Planned budget,
- Confirmation from the chair/
institute that the 10% contribution will be provided.
Please send your short proposals for the internal selection process by Monday, 3 March 2025, via email as a single PDF document to Dr. Jayana Jain (jayana.jainuni-mannheim.de), Division I.
An internal selection committee chaired by the Vice President for Research and Career Paths in Academia, Professor Jutta Mata, will decide on the selection of four proposals. The selected applicants will be invited to submit a full proposal (second stage) to the Baden-Württemberg Foundation. All applicants will be informed of the pre-selection results in the first week of April.
Division I will then report the internal list of pre-selected candidates to the Baden-Württemberg Foundation by 23 April 2025. The applicants selected internally will then receive individual access data to an application platform, where key data on the application must be provided, and the complete application documents must be uploaded in the form of a PDF. The platform will be available from 30 April 2025, and the complete applications must be uploaded by 14 May 2025 (12:00 noon).
Before the final submission of the application documents, a formal review by Division I is required. Therefore, the complete application must be sent via email as a single PDF document to Dr. Jayana Jain (jayana.jainuni-mannheim.de) by 2 May 2025.
