Project development and management
The EU funds both excellent basic research and innovative international collaborative projects with the aim of sustainably strengthening the competitiveness of the European Union. The funding spectrum ranges from excellence funding through the European Research Council (ERC) to the mobility formats of the Marie Skłodowska Curie Actions and research networks on specific priority topics. Based on 15 years of experience, the 'EU Project Development and Management' department offers a comprehensive service for all questions and concerns relating to the application process and the successful implementation of EU-funded projects.
Range of services
In order to broaden TU Dortmund University's participation in EU funding programs, our service supports TU Dortmund University researchers in initiating European collaborative projects and individual funding measures. This includes the identification of suitable funding formats and the targeted search for partners as part of our EU project scouting. For the successful implementation of your EU project, we also offer a customized project management service, individually tailored to your requirements.

The European framework program Horizon Europe
The core of EU research funding is formed by the research framework programs, which provide funding over several years and with different instruments. The Horizon Europe research framework program, which has been running since 2021, offers a wide range of funding formats for established researchers and young scientists, for basic and applied research, for individual funding and collaborative projects in open and thematic calls.
Detailed information about the program can be found on the website of the European Commission as well as on the websites of the BMBF and the National Contact Points. Current calls for proposals can be found in the Funding and Tenders Portal. In addition to the EU research framework programs, there are also joint funding programs with national funding bodies or industry as additional funders. An overview of current calls for proposals that do not appear in the Horizon Europe work program can be found on the ERA LEARN platform.
