Financial support of the GGS working groups and research sections

The working groups and research sections of the GGS can receive annual financial support from the GGS. Following you can find more details about the procedure and the guidelines.

 

Guidelines for the financial support of the GGS sections (update from October 31, 2025).


The guidelines apply to the following two funding formats:

1. Annual funding of the GGS research sections and working groups

Application deadlines: annually on December 15 (actual tender)

In order to enable the research sections and working groups at the GGS to carry out events and smaller projects at the Giessen location, it is possible for them to receive financial support per calendar year.

Important templates for the financial support can be found here:

Research sections and working groups of the GGS can now submit applications for financial support in 2025. The deadline for submission of applications is December 15, 2025. Submission is via the web form linked here.

2. Winter term funding of the GGS research sections and working groups

Due to financial cuts resulting from the Higher Education Pact, there will be no funding for the GGS research sections and working groups during the winter term until further notice.


3. Application for the organisation and funding of the GGS Annual Conference 2026

Application deadline: December 15, 2025 (actual tender)

Separate from the annual funding, the sections and working groups can apply in a separate application procedure for the organisation of the GGS annual conference and its funding with € 5,000.00. Only one GGS Annual Conference per year will be approved and funded. The application by several sections together in one application is desired, but not a prerequisite for a successful application. Co-funding of the annual conference by other funders is possible.
