The Honours Programme for future researchers...

... is about giving talented students from all disciplines a deeper insight into research processes during their studies. Our Goal is to enabling the students to participate in the scientific community and preparing them for a scientific career. Students apply together with a supervisor and their own small research project. The Honours Programme consists of three components: individual support provided by the Honours mentoring, key qualifications and interdisciplinary exchange in the Honours workshops, and financial support provided via the Honours funds.

"Thanks to the Honours Programme, I became more confident that I can become a better prepared and competent researcher after graduation. Thanks to the Honours Funds, I could buy costly and newly published academic books and attend international conferences."
