Zukunftskolleg Open Door: What Independent and Interdisciplinary Research at an Institute for Advanced Study Looks Like
The Zukunftskolleg is an Institute for Advanced Study (IAS) offering diverse fellowships for postdoctoral researchers from all over the world. Following its 5i-strategy, the Zukunftskolleg provides non-tenured researchers independence for their research, interdisciplinary and intergenerational exchange as well as intra-university integration and international contacts. The Zukunftskolleg opens its door for all postdocs at the university to learn more about its fellowship formats, meet the fellows and exchange about their experiences and projects.
Grant writing is a key skill that can unlock research opportunities and sustain projects with supportive funding. In this session, we will guide you through the grant application process so that you can start planning your own grants and work towards greater research independence.
