Four TUD Schools have a new contact person at the Project Scouts. As a measure of the Excellence Initiative of TU Dresden, they support the researchers in all questions concerning the acquisition of funding.

"We were able to recruit experienced funding professionals and motivated employees from the scientific community," enthuses Head of Unit Dr. Sacha Hanig.

"The tasks are diverse," reports Dr. Sebastian Schneider (School of Humanities and Social Sciences). "We provide support in all matters relating to third-party funding applications, e.g. with workshops on typical funding formats, advice on structuring ideas, preliminary examination of cooperation agreements or by organising IDEENSTUDIOs for better networking of researchers and discussion of current research topics and trends," adds
Dr. Nicolle Seifert (School of Engineering Sciences). Dr. Christian Lange (School of Science) and Dr. Wolfgang Trümper (School of Civil and Environmental Engineering) complete the new team of Project Scouts.
