Our services for a supportive research environment

In order to put new research ideas into practice, bring knowledge into the world or discuss approaches and concepts with other researchers, the Faculty and the University provide funding for targeted support for their scientists.

Project funding of the faculty

DFG in­cent­ive sys­tem

We support postdoctoral researchers in the application process for a DFG project. For this purpose, the Faculty provides a maximum of 6 financial support grants per year, each amounting to a ¼ WiMi position for 6 months. The funds can be used flexibly (WiMi, assistants, material and/or travelling expenses).

Guidelines

Pro­mo­tion of re­search pro­jects and pro­ject pre­par­a­tion meas­ures

Future-orientated projects can be supported with personnel and material resources, which can be converted into personnel resources if required. We offer start-up support for applications and funding for special small projects

Guidelines

Programmes to promote equality

Equal study and work opportunities characterise the profile of the Faculty of Business Administration and Economics. The Faculty's Equal Opportunities Officer is therefore committed to equality, work-life balance, equal opportunities and mutual appreciation.

Support for researchers with care responsibilities

We would like to support scientists with care responsibilities in reconciling science and family responsibilities. In addition to women, men are also supported. The concept of family is not reduced to parenthood, but rather to the assumption of responsibility by other people in the private sphere.

Guideline

Further offers for equality

Our Equal Opportunities Officer ensures equal rights for women and men in all status groups and provides advice and support in cases of sexual harassment, bullying and discrimination. She is also committed to the compatibility of family, studies and career. This is reflected in a wide range of services.
