Start-Up Funding Programme of the Medical Faculty (Bausteinprogramm)

The goal of this program for young scientists (called Bausteinprogramm in German) is to help them start their own research projects that enable them to achieve the previous work and publications that are usually required to successfully attract third-party funding.

Call for Proposals

The next call for proposals for the funding period 2024/25 is planned in autumn 2023. We will inform in time.
