Department for external funding (faculty 16)

What are external funds?

External funds are benefits provided by third parties to support research projects or other scientific purposes in research or education. In addition to national and budget funds, external funds are provided by public or private third parties.

External funds in particular:

  • Funding by the German Research Foundation (DFG), federal government (Bund), European Union, Foundations, corporations, charges from Research- and development contracts or coorporation agreements, donations.

The following resources are not considered as external funds:

  • Charges without a research reference, for example services without a significant outcome in research.

Requesting the opening of an external funds account

We replaced the form for requesting the opening of an external funds account with the faculty's software FACTScience® instead of manual application forms. Now you have an extended and revised application procedure available for the opening of an external funds account.

Further information about the application procedure can be found here. (in German only)
