Newsletter – Data bases – Research services
In order to provide you with ideal information on general research topics, Research Support Services offers its own information services and provides you with access to relevant databases.
Information Service Research, International Affairs, Transfer (FIT)
The Information Service Research, International Affairs, Transfer – FIT for Science (in German only), which can be subscribed to individually, bundles current calls for proposals from a wide range of funding agencies. You can filter these calls for proposals according to your personal preferences, such as subject area, career level, or funding agency. You are also free to decide how often and on which days of the week you would like to receive the FIT newsletter. FIT covers most of the available formats. The exception is ministerial formats, which are unfortunately not always covered; if you are interested in the funding announcements of a specific ministry, we recommend subscribing to the respective RSS feed (feel free to contact us).
For members of TU Dortmund University, the customizable FIT newsletter is free of charge.
