To be successful in science, scientists have to attract funding for their project ideas or their own position. Which funding programs are of interest to me? How do I find efficiently funding programs tailor made for my needs? What are the principles of successful proposals? The design of the seminar is such, that we will discuss the principles of the funding system and of application and evaluation procedures. You’ll gain insight into the structure and systematics of the funding landscape in Germany. To enable you to find tailor made funding possibilities for your individual needs you’ll get strategic tips for the search for funding. You’ll get practical tips to write a convincing proposal by concept and content. Focus of the proposal analysis will be a strong title, a convincing summary and strategic considerations to develop a project plan with an adequate budget. You also get to know unwritten rules you should keep in mind, when applying for extramural funds.
In the second part you get 45 minutes of individual counseling, that you can use for analysis of a submitted, a successful or an unsuccessful proposal, to clarify questions for the strategic use of funding also for career development. Optional, you also can bring the summary of a proposal you are currently writing for analysis and further development.
Major subjects of the seminar are
. Basic principles of the funding system
. Funding institutions and programs
. Writing a success promising proposal
. Submission and evaluation procedures
