Find calls for research funding that has come to the attention of the Faculty Office.

Apply for faculty infrastructure funding

Since 2011, the Faculty of Science has set aside annual funding for infrastructure investments that faculty researchers can apply for. Funding can be granted for both new instrumentation purchases and upgrades and additions to existing systems. New for this year is that the call for applications at the vice-chancellor level is not aimed at individual researchers, but only at the faculties. Applications must be made using a special template available on the faculty's internal website. The deadline for applications is 4 February 2026.
