Research Training Groups of the German Research Foundation (DFG)

Research Training Groups of the German Research Foundation (DFG)

With the Research Training Groups (Graduiertenkollegs, GRKs), Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin hosts institutions for the promotion of researchers in early career phases, which are funded by the DFG for a maximum of nine years. The focus is on the qualification of doctoral researchers within the framework of a thematically focused research programme and a structured qualification concept. An interdisciplinary orientation of the Research Training Groups is desired. The aim is to prepare doctoral researchers intensively for the complex labour market of "science" and at the same time to support their early scientific independence.
