RTG-Schedule establishment proposal

RTG-Schedule: ESTABLISHMENT of a Research Training Group

Applications for Research Training Groups (RTG) can be handed in at all times, however, please note that the DFG only decides on approval or rejection of establishment proposals twice a year (usually in the beginning of May and November).

The entire application process consists of two steps with a total duration of approximately two years, beginning with your idea and ending with the start of funding. This procedure requires excellent cooperation within the university, across the entire campus and pertaining to the DFG. The following schedule, thought to serve as an initial means of orientation, portrays an exemplary timeline of the individual steps along the way. Any further details specific to your project or concerning precise processes will gladly be discussed in individual counseling interviews.
