WUN member university · Germany · Europe
Research funding that staff at Ruhr University Bochum (RUB) can tap into — through Germany's national research councils and foundations, and through the shared Worldwide Universities Network funding schemes.
“Open to apply now” covers rolling schemes (no fixed deadline — the funder accepts applications all year) and calls whose published deadline is still ahead. Closed (past-deadline) rows stay listed at the bottom for reference.
Shared call for WUN member universities (e.g. the Research Development Fund) — usually needs ≥3 member universities across ≥2 regions. Check the announcement for the current round.
International & collaborative: beyond national calls, many programmes accept international co-applicants from Ruhr University Bochum (RUB) — browse calls across WUN member countries.
Eligibility varies by scheme — always verify the applicant rules on the official page before applying. National calls below are listed for the country of this university; many schemes are open to all eligible researchers at its institutions.

Deadline chip: a date = the latest application deadline we verified on the official page · Rolling = no fixed deadline — the funder accepts applications at any time · No date = the funder has not published a deadline for this scheme yet · Closed = the deadline has passed. Click the chip to open the opportunity's details page; ↗ opens the funder's official page in a new tab. Funding figures are copied from the official page only — “Not stated” means the page we archived lists no amount for this scheme, not that it is unfunded; “Not yet gathered” means we have not captured that page yet.
