The University of Kassel supports researchers and academics in attracting external funding for their research projects. The Research Support Office looks after the Central Research Fund (ZFF), which offers various funding opportunities, and coordinates the initial selection of projects for the LOEWE state programme.

The Central Research Fund (ZFF)

The Central Research Fund (German: Zentraler Forschungsfonds (ZFF) offers support for preparing a third-party funding proposal for all researchers at the University of Kassel and promotes collaborations between the faculties and the Kunsthochschule. The ZFF comprises seven funding lines with different priorities and target groups. Funded are for example individual projects by early career researchers, collaborative research initiatives and the exploration of innovative research ideas. Depending on the funding line, both material and personnel costs are financed. Several times a year, the Research Service organizes information events on the funding lines and the submission process. The ZFF replaces the university's previous funding programs under the Central Research Funding and the Future program lines.
