Return program of the State of North Rhine-Westphalia

The admission of promising early-career researchers, who decide to return to Germany after a longer stay abroad, is of great interest for the University of Cologne (UoC). After the positive experience of the last years, the University of Cologne is again participating in the current call for proposals for the return program of North Rhine-Westphalia and thus provides the necessary infrastructure for the research groups.

The UzK offers interested young scientists the opportunity to contact the university in advance and to obtain advice about opportunities and prospects and to receive support with their application. Please contact Sonja Kloppenburg for formal questions, as far as they do not concern the Medical Faculty. If you are interested in the Medical Faculty, please contact Prof. Dr. Esther von Stebut-Borschitz (Vice Dean of Science). Dr. Simona Walker (Research Coordinator) is also available as a further contact person for the Medical Faculty.
