The DIES ProGRANT project ended successfully in 2023. We will therefore not be offering any ProGRANT courses in 2024. We look back proudly on almost 10 years of ProGRANT and would like to thank all participants, trainers and partners for this great time together.
 

Proposal Writing for Research Grants

ProGRANT Proposal Writing for Research Grants is part of the DIES (Dialogue on Innovative Higher Education Strategies) program of the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) and the German Rectors’ Conference (HRK). 

The aim of  ProGRANT Proposal Writing for Research Grants  is to enable researchers and younger PhD holders (up to 40 years of age) from countries in Latin America, Africa, the Middle East and Asia to develop proposal writing skills according to international standards and to design, write and budget a promising proposal for national and international research funding.

The courses are organized and conducted by the International Office of the University of Cologne in close cooperation with proWiss (Consulting Services for Researchers) and partner institutions in the regions. 

ProGRANT is an effective tool for enhancing academic capacity building in the global south and for promoting international research cooperation.
