Endowed Professorships (Foundation for the Promotion of the Technical University of Hamburg)

The Foundation for the Promotion of the Technical University of Hamburg offers ongoing funding opportunities through the endowed professorships in Hamburg for the targeted establishment and sustainable equipping of professorships at TU Hamburg. Currently, four professorships in the fields of research & innovation as well as science are to be filled. Educational and public institutions can submit applications at any time via the foundation’s office. This type of funding opens up new research areas and establishes profile-defining teaching priorities – a central component for the long-term expansion of academic excellence and a strong signal for the region’s innovative strength.

The endowed professorships are especially aimed at researchers from engineering and related disciplines who wish to actively shape research and teaching. The permanent funding creates ideal conditions to link the promotion of young talent with forward-looking research. The initiative not only supports the profile development of individual institutes but also strengthens the next generation of engineers through demanding teaching offerings and interdisciplinary cooperation. Applications can be submitted at any time without a fixed deadline – the foundation supports applicants from the initial idea through to the successful establishment of the professorship.
