The University of Freiburg is currently preparing its proposal for the Universities of Excellence funding line in the Excellence Strategy of the federal and state governments. University members from science and research as well as research management can get involved in the proposal for the Universities of Excellence funding line in a very special way: They are invited to apply for the University’s internal Unicorn Fund by 31 May 2025 – with creative ideas that renew individual areas of the University from the ground up and have the potential to radiate throughout the University. The applicants can receive up to 300,000 euros over three years to work out and implement their idea if the University is successful in the Universities of Excellence funding line.
