What does the funding include?

The University provides flexible funds in addition to the appointment salaries within the framework of appointment or retention negotiations for female researchers in W2 and W3 professorships. These can include, for example, temporary funding for additional scientific staff or the alleviation of teaching obligations during the start-up phase. The scope of the funding is determined individually and in coordination between the researcher and the rectorate.
