Research Opportunities Week for Postdocs at TU Munich

Outline

Once a year the Technical University of Munich (TUM) selects 50 young scientists from all over the world and invites them to the Research Opportunities Week (ROW) in Munich. During this week, the participants have the opportunity to visit different research facilities at TUM, to meet Professors of their disciplines, to inform themselves about possible postdoc funding opportunities in Germany and to create a scientific network.

After the ROW, participants get the exclusive chance to apply for the attractive TUM University Foundation Fellowship (TUFF) to conduct a research project for a year. In addition, fellows receive support from the TUM Talent Factory to apply for further funding offered by national and international programs.

What is funded

The Postdoc Mobility Travel Grant covers accommodation and travel expenses for the event for 50 postdocs.
