Depending on the third-party funder and, if applicable, also on the funding program, special features, e.g. with regard to the personnel costs to be applied, the project management, but also with regard to the involvement of the university management, have to be considered. Specific information from the perspective of Clausthal University of Technology is available in our overview of relevant funding sources and programs (e.g. federal ministries, ZIM, EFRE, EU, ...) as well as on request directly from the Funding Advisory Service.
