Prospects: Online Talk Series on DFG Funding Opportunities for Research Careers

Prospects: The Walter Benjamin Programme

Just finishing your PhD and wondering whether the DFG’s Walter Benjamin Programme is a funding option for your next career step in academia? Either after your PhD in Germany to move on to another host institution – or after your PhD in an international context to realise your next research project in Germany? The Walter Benjamin Programme caters for both options for early postdocs.

In this dedicated DFG talk, you will get first-hand information about the funding organisation DFG, the goal of the Walter Benjamin Programme, its eligibility requirements and the type, extend and duration of the funding.

They will explain how the DFG comes to a funding decision and give you advice on preparing a proposal. There is time for your questions after the talk.

PhD candidates and postdocs who recently finished their doctorates of all disciplines from all countries as well as research support staff are welcome to join.

10/05/2022, 2 p.m.-3:30 p.m.

The link to the Webex meeting will be published here some days prior to the talk.

Prior registration is not needed.
