The Career Bridging Grant closes financial gaps between two career steps for candidates who are currently conducting research at TU Darmstadt or who intend to do so in the future. The Career Bridging Grant provides short-term financial support for highly qualified candidates, who are preparing their next scientific career phase at TU Darmstadt by submitting an individual external application, whose previous (position) funding has expired at the requested start of the Career Bridging Grant and who are applying for third-party funding for their own position at TU Darmstadt with good prospects of success. The Career Bridging Grant secures financial support during the application process for external funding and thus facilitates a smooth transition to the next career step.
External funding can be provided by programmes of the German Research Foundation (DFG Temporary Positions for Principal Investigators, Emmy Noether Programme, Walter Benjamin Programme), the European Union (Marie Skłodowska-Curie Action) or national programmes of other countries.
The Career Bridging Grant programme is currently under evaluation. Once the evaluation results have been reviewed, a decision will be made on the future structure of the programme.
