WUN countries · Europe
Research funding opportunities available from Germany, including those provided by its government, research councils, and foundations.
“Open to apply now” covers rolling schemes (no fixed deadline — the funder accepts applications all year, e.g. most DFG programme pages) and calls whose published deadline is still ahead. Closed (past-deadline) rows stay listed at the bottom for reference.
Every WUN member also has access to the shared WUN Research Development Fund.
