Research visit at the DFG Research Training Group
Innovative research of the highest standard requires the active co-operation of an interdisciplinary group of experts. The DFG Research Training Group 1681/2 ‘Privacy and Digitalisation’ thus regularly offers guest lectures held by German and international visiting scholars. Moreover, as a visiting scholar, you have the opportunity to become a permanently fixture in our study and research programme.

The Chairs of the University extend invitations to international scholars. Funding from central student subsidies and state allocations is available for the faculties to invite external scholars.
