Research Support and Scholarships

The Equal Opportunities Office advises and informs female junior researchers about research support programmes of Heidelberg University, the Ministry of Science, Research and the Arts Baden-Wuerttemberg and other institutions for the promotion of science, which are aimed at female researchers particularly.
