Applications for the three funding programmes can be submitted to the President's Office via the Dean's Offices by 15 October of each year. The faculty-specific submission deadlines for the faculty-internal pre-selection will be announced by the Dean's Offices. Persons for whom applications have already been submitted in the first funding round will not be considered again.
