DFG grant in one semester

Antragswerkstatt: Grant writing workshop

The DFG research grant is the most popular funding format for independent research. Can you also imagine submitting a grant next semester? 

Winter semester 2026/2027

The workshop on writing grant proposals supports researchers at TU Dortmund University with practical impulses and guidance in the preparation of a DFG grant proposal. The aim is to submit a complete proposal after one semester.

The proposal workshop provides structured support over a set period of time - from the initial idea to the final project outline.
The timed sequence of inputs, work phases and feedback rounds will guide you step by step through the writing process.
Questions that arise can be continuously clarified, uncertainties addressed and individual challenges discussed in a targeted manner. The aim is to develop a viable and convincing project outline - practical, reflective and well-structured.

All researchers who have (almost) completed their doctorate and are looking to (re)enter the application process are welcome.

New: To enable participants to start the workshop with an initial thematic orientation, we ask you to prepare an idea paper or a comparable project outline in advance. Ideally, this should be done prior to registration in order to enable a targeted and well-founded participation in the workshop.

Please register here for the application workshop.
