Research support
We support science
The HRW research support assists researchers, doctoral candidates, early career researchers and interested parties with various counselling and funding offers. In addition to providing information on research and project calls and start-up funding, we bring prospective doctoral candidates together with professors. Formats to promote good scientific practice and networking round off the programme.
Funding advice
We support you in the design of customised proposals, advise you on funding opportunities and assist in the preparation of research project applications to public and non-profit funding bodies.
