Research funding

ehemalige Orangerie

At the KU, researchers receive information, advice and support in connection with planning and preparation, application and implementation of (mainly peer-reviewed) third-party funded research projects. The central contact for all issues and questions in this respect is the Research Service Center (ZFF).


The ZFF provides individual advice for doctoral students and especially scientists in the early phase after their doctorate on various options and support options for the development of their scientific career.

In addition, the ZFF aims to make the research of scientists, projects, institutions and topics at the KU more visible and tangible and to facilitate the transfer of knowledge of research results and topics to society.
