eu-foerderung@uni-hamburg.deOur service in detail
With regard to the current EU Horizon Europe research framework program (2021– 2027), we can provide advice on concrete application calls, for example, and also offer hold general information sessions about EU research funding.
If you would like to apply for research funding, we offer extensive support throughout the process, for example, we:
- clarify the formal criteria, provide help with the electronic registration in the Funding and Tender Opportunities Portal, help you complete the A section, and obtain the host commitment letter for ERC applications
- edit the B section of the application
- advise you on your budget and help you plan your budget.
The University of Hamburg supports your EU funding application by, for example, assuming costs to prepare the application (e.g., preparatory meetings, workshops, travel) or with preparatory training for ERC interviews (financed from EU funds).
Once you receive funding, we help you with the legal review of your grant agreement and consortium agreements related to the EU projects, working closely with contract management.
