Daring project ideas from the sandpit

Our sandpits offer researchers at all career levels the freedom they need to develop new research approaches in a creative, interdisciplinary environment. Up to 20 curious minds are invited to work together to give shape to a topic. They are given a heading, but are otherwise not constrained by any provisions.

To mark the start of its funding activities in the area of international appointments, Wübben Stiftung Wissenschaft has launched the Appointment Accelerator and Tenure Track Professorship programs. The Tenure Track Professorship program supports universities in the appointment and onboarding of promising international researchers in the first years of a tenure track professorship. Appointment Accelerator is intended to speed up appointment negotiations.
