Info Events
Dezernat 7 offers a series of information events in the research funding area in which central topics relating to third-party funding applications are presented. The aim is to provide an overview of the entire application process from finding the right funding format, the application itself, important cross-cutting issues and support options at Osnabrück University. The regular info events are offered every semester. Inquiries about the information offered and to arrange individual consultations can always be directed to the research advisors in Dezernat 7.
