Prospects: Lecture series on the DFG funding programme for academic careers

In its lecture series, the DFG presents its funding portfolio for researchers in the early stages of their careers. Doctoral candidates and postdocs from all disciplines are welcome to attend.

The DFG regularly restructures and updates its forms and guidelines. You should therefore use the latest templates.

You can always request the latest budget calculation bases from us.

For additional information on the research context, such as research data management, gender and diversity, ethics and environmental sustainability, please contact us.

Proposals are submitted to the DFG via the elan portal. Registration is required for submission, which can take up to three working days. The elan flyer provides more information on e-proposals.
