Research Training Groups

Research Training Groups are established by universities to promote young researchers. Their key emphasis is on the qualification of doctoral researchers within the framework of a focused research programme and a structured training and supervision strategy.

More information can be found at: http://www.dfg.de/en/research_funding/programmes/coordinated_programmes/research_training_groups/index.html

Do you intend to establish a Research Training Group? We provide assistance and support during the application phase.
