Offers

The TRA Sustainable Futures aims to support and promote inter- and transdisciplinary research. To achieve this goal, TRA has developed various offerings: Funding programs such as the Open Call, research awards, and thematic calls for proposals support new and innovative research ideas from researchers at various stages of their careers. The scientific exchange with experts outside the University of Bonn is facilitated through the Lecture Series "Innovation Pathways to Sustainability." Networking events, such as subject-specific workshops or the general assembly, provide TRA members with opportunities to exchange ideas and establish connections.

Funding

With its Open Call, the TRA Sustainable Futures offers start-up funding for innovative, transdisciplinary research projects or other measures that have a clear connection to the TRA's objectives and topics. In addition, there are thematic or target group-specific calls.

The TRA Sustainable Futures has supported more than 30 project ideas and projects to date. Some examples of the projects can be found here.
