Strategic funding measures

The “Ideas Lab” supports especially innovative and enterprising project ideas which wouldn’t have otherwise received external funding through established channels.

“Topical Programmes” offers start-up funding to large-scale collaborative research projects which address the issues today that promise to become the research focuses of tomorrow.

“EU Boost” programmes are aimed at outstanding researchers who wish to apply for ERC grants or participate in collaborative EU funding programmes.

Collaboration grants support joint projects conducted by researchers from the University of Münster and the University of Twente.

Validation grants enable researchers to demonstrate the viability of tech-based concepts derived from basic research.

The “Women in Research” (WiRe) programme offers international postdoctoral women researchers the chance to launch new joint projects and gain career perspectives.
