The Division 4.2 – Management of Third Party Funds team assists you with the acquisition, quality assurance, and management of external funding – from the initial idea right through to the management of large-scale projects.

 

Finding the Right Funding Program for Your Research Idea

You can use our directory of German and European programs and funding bodies to look for funding opportunities in the area of research funding. Furthermore, RWTH lets you use the ELFI funding database free of charge and you can also subscribe to our newsletter, which informs you of the latest calls.

 

Advice and Support

During the proposal phase, we pass on our knowledge to you, assisting you in meeting all formal call requirements in compliance with the funding programs, among other things.
