Scoping Workshop Dates

The Volkswagen Foundation offers to fund scoping workshops on fixed dates.

In your application, you are asked to provide a preference for one of the two weeks associated with each deadline. While we aim to enable the preferred dates in each case, this might not always be possible and we might thus offer you the other week in such a case.

Scoping Workshops

This is about the future of your research area: What is the current status? What prospects are there for further development - and how can they be realised? With the "Scoping Workshops" the foundation offers space for discussion and intensive exchange. Online Q&A (in German) on 12 February 2026, deadline: 17 March 2026.
