Research and Transfer Services

Research and Transfer Services is a central service unit for members of the University of Hildesheim. We support you in turning your ideas into practice by offering a range of services for the planning, preparation and submission of national and international third-party funding proposals in the field of research.

Services and support

Among other things, we offer:

  • Information on current calls for proposals
  • Advice on suitable funders and funding programmes
  • Advice on cross-cutting aspects of proposals (beyond the discipline-specific content)
  • Strategic feedback on proposals in the role of a “critical friend”
  • Review of application documents to ensure formal compliance and quality
  • Coordination of internal university procedures
  • Support for postdocs in acquiring third-party funding
  • Support in revising proposals that were initially unsuccessful (e.g. DFG)
  • Events and workshops on funding opportunities and funding programmes
  • Administration/management of EU-funded projects (Horizon Europe, Erasmus+ Cooperation Partnerships)
  • A point of contact for collaborations and knowledge transfer

EU funding

In the area of European research funding, Research and Transfer Services works in tandem with the  EU Liaison Office Hannover/Hildesheim, the central point of contact for researchers planning European and international projects.

The Research and Transfer Services regularly organise events on selected topics related to research funding opportunities and the higher education and research system, and tailor them to the needs of specific target groups. Further information is available here. Beyond these events and consultation formats, the team is always happy to advise you on individual questions relating to research funding and academic career planning.
