In this intensive workshop, you will learn:

1. how to formulate clear scientific hypotheses,
2. how to identify suitable methods for verification or falsification,
3. and, on this basis, how to develop the basic framework for a convincing DFG application.

The workshop will moreover provide dedicated time slots to work on your own proposal in a quiet and focused atmosphere, with experienced researchers available to offer guidance and support.

We have a total of 10 places available. The workshop is open to CTNR members and their research groups, i.e. PhD students who are in the final phase of their PhD and postdoctoral researchers. Accommodation at the Ostseehotel Dierhagen will be covered for all participants.
