Successful Grant Applications for LifeScience Projects
Einreichungsfristen der wichtigsten deutschen und internationalen Förderprogramme
Um im Bereich Forschung und Entwicklung von Förderprogrammen profitieren zu können, müssen die erforderlichen Anträge rechtzeitig eingereicht werden. Sowohl deutsche als auch internationale Förderprogramme für Forschung und Entwicklung gehen meistens mit festen Fristen für die Programme einher. Wenn Sie sich über die Einreichungsfristen der wichtigsten deutschen und internationalen Förderprogramme informieren möchten, werden Sie hier fündig. Wir fassen für Sie die wichtigsten Fristen der Möglichkeiten zur Förderung im Folgenden übersichtlich zusammen; die letzte Aktualisierung erfolgte am 13. März 2026 (Angaben ohne Gewähr). Zu den regionalen Programmen der einzelnen Bundesländer sprechen Sie uns bitte direkt an.
Diese Seite ist thematisch gegliedert: unter jedem Forschungsbereich (Gesundheit; Biotech/Bioökonomie; IT in Life Sciences; Start-up-Programme; Pflanzen, Umwelt, Klima, Landwirtschaft; „buttom up approaches“ - offen für alle Themen; internationale Partnerschaften) finden Sie deutsche, EU- und andere internationale Programme).
Sie haben Fragen zu einer bestimmten für Forschung und Entwicklung bereitstehenden Förderung? Dann sprechen Sie uns an (Tel: +493077205920; Email: info@consultech.de). Wir informieren Sie gern umfassend!
