Design Research Grant
Since 2015, the Institute for Design Research has been offering an annual funding and mentoring program for early-career researchers. Graduates, research assistants, and lecturers from the Department of Design can apply for support in the development and practical implementation of innovative research projects. The start-up funding offers the opportunity to develop third-party funding applications, conduct case studies, organize conferences, event series, or exhibitions, write and publish scientific articles, and finalize doctoral projects. The R&D committee decides on the selection of projects and the allocation of funds.
