Division 7 Research Management

Divison 7 "Research Management" supports researchers of the University of Cologne with regard to all administrative processes of their third-party funded projects. Our Departments provide comprehensive and extensive support in the application, project and contract management and audits of external grants.


DFG | Promotion of Diversity in Research

The Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG, German Research Foundation) extends the earmarking of the “Standard Allowance for Equity and Diversity” module (formerly “Standard Allowance for Gender Equality Measures”) and adds diversity to the sections on the promotion of gender equality in proposals submitted under coordinated programmes. 

From now on, project-related measures can be funded that contribute to

  • promoting gender equality in research, 
  • promoting diversity in science and the humanities or
  • making jobs in science and academia more family-friendly (including care). 

The update applies to both newly proposed third-party projects and ongoing third-party projects for which the Standard Allowance for Equity and Diversity has already been approved. Further information is available here.
