Funding Initiative Interdisciplinary Research at TU Darmstadt
The funding initiative Interdisciplinary Research at TU Darmstadt was delegated by the Senate to the Selection- and Grant Commission Interdisciplinary Research (short: "FiF Commission"). The members of the FiF Commission are appointed by the Senate.
In terms of organisation, research funding is subject to the Presidium. The FiF Commission is exclusively responsible for tendering, consulting, evaluation and approval of the tendering procedure. The director of FiF is the chairman of the commission, as well. The tendering of internal funding for interdisciplinary projects takes place every 1-1.5 years as part of the “Funding Initiative for Interdisciplinary Research”.
You can find more information about the organisation and working methods of FiF on the pages “About FiF” or watch our video film “Introducing FiF” .
Call for proposals - More space for your research ideas
Technical University of Darmstadt recognises interdisciplinary research as part of the university culture and recognises synergies from different disciplines as extremely valuable. In accordance with its mission statement, TU Darmstadt encourages interdisciplinary cooperation in research and teaching.
In the context of the interdisciplinary research funding initiative, TU Darmstadt invites applications for project funding (state funding) for interdisciplinary research projects on a regular basis. With the aim of kick-starting new ideas, funding is favoured for projects that generate sustainable, currently non-existent research collaborations/projects with the perspective of acquiring third-party funding.
It is also possible to submit projects on IANUS topics. They should contribute in an interdisciplinary way to the reduction of social or global conflicts and to the promotion or assurance of peaceful coexistence. Further information can be found on the FiF website.
Little effort – high chances of success!
Simply submit a brief outline of your project. An funding rate of approx. 40% on average in the last four tender rounds provides you with good perspectives for success.
