Funding "Technical Equipment"

The funding initiative of the Cologne University Foundation supports non-profit educational institutions in North Rhine-Westphalia in modernizing and expanding their technical infrastructure. In particular, university locations of the University of Cologne benefit from grants for event technology, interactive boards, and camera systems. The aim of this measure is to equip contemporary teaching and research formats as well as diverse events with modern media and digital tools, thereby creating innovative learning and working environments. Eligible to apply are all institutions and projects within the University of Cologne that wish to technically upgrade their teaching, research, and event spaces. The continuous submission option enables flexible planning and implementation of various projects to strengthen university competence in the areas of digitalization, infrastructure, and science promotion.

Funding is provided for the acquisition and installation of professional event technology, interactive presentation systems, and camera technology for documentation and streaming purposes. By upgrading the technical equipment, powerful rooms are created that support collaborative work and multimedia presentations. The interactive board opens up new forms of visual communication, while modern camera systems facilitate the recording and further processing of lectures, workshops, and seminars. These investments enable participants and research teams alike to sustainably store content and make it available via digital channels. Thanks to the grant format, projects can be realized without co-financing, provided the application is submitted by an institution of the University of Cologne. The unlimited funding opportunity ensures that innovative ideas can be submitted at any time and implemented promptly to shape teaching and research at the university in a forward-looking manner.
