Effective promotion of young researchers needs effective support structures

The Graduate Academy of Leibniz University Hannover provides different funding opportunities to promote excellent research. We thereby support doctoral candidates and early postdocs in their individual research activity as well as in networking with the scientific community.

In this part, you will also find, next to our own funding opportunities, information about other support measures of Leibniz University Hannover as well as of a relatively large selection of German funding institutions that support Ph.D. candidates in a variety of programmes and a variety of directions.
