Funding programme for ongoing profile development 2017-2022

Important information

Please note: The "Future" program line was replaced by the Central Research Fund (ZFF) in 2021. Therefore, it is no longer possible to apply for this offer in the old format. In the area of graduate funding, it will be possible to submit an application in 2021 as part of a special call for proposals, to which we refer further. On this page you will find information about the previous funding until 2020.

The university supports targeted focus development in research and teaching. To this end, funds for various grants were made available between 2017 and 2022 in the programme for further profile development.

“Future” programme funding line

The "future" programme funding line served to further develop the focus and profile of research at the University of Kassel.

“Establishing PhD Programmes” funding line

The “Establishing PhD Programmes” funding line was used to support young academic researchers and is aimed at further developing doctorate degree environments towards becoming structured PhD programmes with cooperative doctoral support. Coherent specialist area consortiums with an innovative research topic within the spectrum of the university’s main research areas with the potential for permanent adoption, e.g. as a DFG PhD research group, are eligible for funding.
