Science Support Centre

We provide comprehensive advising and support for postgraduate researchers at the University of Freiburg in all phases of planning and preparing proposals of third-party-funded research projects. Researchers from the Faculty of Medicine may contact the Office of the Dean for Research.

Our service is also open for incoming researchers, who would like to move to the University of Freiburg within the scope of an individueal DFG application such as Emmy Noether, Heisenberg or “Eigene Stelle” (Temporary Positions for Principal Investigators).

From the initial idea to the successful completion of your project our service helps to create windows for research and to enhance the visibility and attractiveness of Freiburg as a research location.
