The University of Passau has committed itself to providing additional financial support for research projects and high-quality applications for third-party funding in the field of research and transfer. This applies in particular to applications in renowned funding programmes and research projects with high scientific potential.
(1) The Research and Transfer Pool provides funding primarily in the three key areas of the University of Passau:
o Digitalisation
o Europe
o Sustainability
in three funding lines:
o Funding for project planning and development of third-party funding applications for basic research (‘project planning’)
o Covering the University's own share of project costs (‘own contribution’)
o Project funding
The ‘project funding’ funding line can be utilised independently of an application for external third-party funding and is intended to take into account the diverse research at the University of Passau, which is not always equally in the focus of third-party funding providers. All three funding lines are equally available to professors and early career researchers.
For further information on funding amounts and requirements, as well as advice, please contact our colleagues in the Research Service Department.
