Profile building in the area of sustainability
Promotion of young researchers to attract top-class third party funding
Green Transformation: A central strategic goal of the University of Augsburg is continuing its development into a leading university in the field of sustainability research. This includes, in particular, the further training of young researchers in this field.
An essential prerequisite for young researchers to successfully apply for professorships or head research groups is the independent acquisition and coordination of high quality third party funded projects. Relevant preliminary work published in leading publications constitutes an important basis for success in the competitive acquisition of third party funded projects.
The programme to promote the acquisition of top-class third party funding to raise the profile of young researchers with a specific focus on sustainability therefore supports preliminary scientific work that will lead to prestigious publications, thus increasing the chances of success in acquiring third party funded projects.
The projects must be thematically aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) defined by the United Nations. The establishment and expansion of networks with international sustainability researchers is also desirable.
Members who hold a doctorate and belong to the academic mid-level staff at the University of Augsburg from all faculties and disciplines are invited to submit applications for this funding program.
The submission deadline is 15 July, 2024.
