Project Funding (Foundation for the Promotion of the Technical University of Hamburg)

The project funding of the Foundation for the Promotion of the Technical University of Hamburg continuously supports innovative initiatives in research, teaching, early career development, and campus life at TU Hamburg. The focus is on university teams consisting of scientists, students, and early career researchers who wish to implement pioneering teaching formats, interdisciplinary research collaborations, or practice-oriented campus initiatives. As a grant program, the funding is exclusively aimed at projects closely linked to TUHH and allows for flexible application submissions at any time. From student-organized race car developments in the WorkINGLab to international exchange programs, as well as science awards and endowed professorships – the Foundation acts as a central contact point and supports all funded initiatives with advice and networking opportunities. Through close cooperation with the administrative office, applicants benefit from individual support and transparent processing of the funding procedures.

In the regional context of Hamburg, the Foundation offers a platform to strengthen both early career talents and established scientists alike and to set long-term impulses for research and innovation. Educational institutions of the Technical University of Hamburg can apply with projects of all sizes to test new teaching methods, expand interdisciplinary collaborations, or sustainably enrich campus life. The goal is to make outstanding ideas visible and to further develop TUHH as a vibrant scientific location. The continuously open funding line invites interested parties to submit ambitious concepts and to actively contribute to university development together with the Foundation.
