Funding
Klaus Töpfer Research Prize 2023
We are announcing the Klaus Töpfer Research Prize 2023 for our members. The prize is endowed with €50,000 and is open to all disciplines. The innovative and cross-disciplinary nature of the proposal is the most important requirement for funding. Also, the proposal must cover a new initiative, as continuation or expansion of ongoing projects will not be funded.
Application deadline will be on March 31, 2023.
Open Call
Members of the TRA Sustainable Futures can apply for funding for projects which work towards the aims of the TRA and which focus on topics covered by the TRA. Applications must be made by consortia including representatives of at least two faculties at the University of Bonn or one faculty and a strategic non-university partner and will be accepted at any time.
