With the concept "Freiräume schaffen" the Rectorate of the University of Vienna aims to relieve UNIVIE scientists during the application phase of large, prestigious third-party funded projects (ERC CoG or ERC AdG/SynG, FWF SFB (Lead), FWF doc.funds (Lead), WWTF VRG, EU cooperation projects (Lead), CD labs or equivalent). The relief can take the form of reduced teaching obligations or the provision of a student assistant.

Applications are submitted to the relevant dean's office.

For courses in the summer semester 2025 the FGGA-internal submission deadline for applications is August 25, 2024.

Please send applications to dekanat.fgga[at]unvie.ac.at and please contact the third-party funding service of the FGGA in advance.

Detailed information about the initative can be found in the univie:intranet.
