transCampus partnership with King's College London
Table of contents
About transCampus
The transCampus is a transnational strategic partnership of two elite universities with common deans, professors, and administrative structures. We combine the strengths of two leading countries in Europe using complementary portfolios and infrastructure. This results in scientific and economic advantages and new funding opportunities. transCampus is a research-strong partnership that now extends far beyond its origins in the life sciences. The successful interdisciplinary cooperation is to be further intensified and expanded across disciplines.

transCampus funding scheme
Aims and profile
The transCampus funding programme aims to strengthen cooperation between King's College London and Technische Universität Dresden and therefore supports initiatives that initiate or expand various forms of cooperation.
Funding is provided for projects that
- establish joint research projects and/or
- (structured) exchanges of students, academics or staff;
- promote young academics and/or
- increase the international visibility of the partnership;
- improve the general conditions for international cooperation in research and teaching (at transCampus).
Call for proposals
The transCampus funding programme is an annual funding scheme. The next call will be open in Spring 2021.
transCampus Research Award
In 2020, King's College London presented the transCampus Research Award providing 100,000 GBP in total for joint research projects at King's College and TUD. Four projects of 25,000 GBP each have eventually been granted to realise their research initiatives in the period of November 2020 to November 2021. The projects pursue innovative research in stem cell therapy, brain repair, the understanding of inter-individual behaviour and in the design principles of chiral-induced spin selectivity.

transCelerator seed funding for business ideas
Following the establishment of the transCampus initiative in 2015, the transCelerator was set up in 2018 together with the Hebrew University (HU) as promotional instrument of thetransCampus network providing incentives for entrepreneurial activities. The transCelerator aims to:
- Provide seed funding for life science / medicine / biotech projects derived out of the transCampus
- Bridge the gap between academic project funding and relevant start-up funding for commercialisation projects
- Enable the funded projects to be positively evaluated by the Centre for Transfer and Entrepreneurship (CTE) at TUD in terms of becoming marketable preferably in Saxony
The transCelerator seed funding in the field of life science aims at supporting joint projectteams translating their research results into entrepreneurial activities. This transCelerator call intends to grant a total of 150,000 EUR seed funding for 2-3 projects. The number of projects is depending on how the review board judges the chances that the entrepreneurial objectives of the individual project proposal are achieved. Application deadline: 11 Octobre 2020.
