Responsibilities

We support the university in strategic questions in the area of research, structural and development planning, international research cooperations and external representation of research activities.

We take care of the development and support of internal and external research funding programmes for early career scientists.

We provide information about national and international funding opportunities in the field of research. This is done through personal advice, via our website and via regular newsletters.

We establish and further develop the research infrastructures of Ulm University, especially through core facilities, large equipment and grant applications for research buildings according to article 91b of the German Basic Law. 

We support, advise and participate in grant applications to public funding agencies, private foundations and industry.  Our services include information on promotion of early-career-researchers, gender equality, budget planning and how the proposed project fits into the research profile of the university.

For the procurement of research equipment (hardware and software), a recommendation of the Equipment Commission is required for a net procurement value of 100,000 EUR or more. We perform the tasks of the office of the Equipment Committee.
