1. Finding the suitable funding
Information on current calls for research proposals is published monthly. Please subscribe to the TUD Research News (FONA) for the relevant faculty. You are also welcome to use the research tool ResearchConnect to search for suitable calls for research proposals yourself. You can find a quick guide here: ResearchConnect - How to get started.
In addition, we offer information on how to find funding on our website:
Do you have a project idea but don't yet know exactly where to apply for funding? Are you looking for project partners and networking opportunities within TU Dresden and beyond? Feel free to contact the Project Scouts, who will also support you as guides through the administration and with the organization and moderation of project preparation events. Members of the Faculty of Medicine should contact the Service for Researchers there. For projects that are to be submitted to European funding programmes, please contact Department 5.2 - European Project Center.
You will get help with researching intellectual property rights and finding project partners from industry at the Excellence Center for Innovation, Transfer and Entrepreneurship „TUD|excite“.
For projects in the field of contract research and research services, please contact the team at Group Contract Research/ Research Services at Unit 1.3 - Administration of External Funding.
You can find the calls for scientific prizes here: Prizes for Researchers
