International Project Teams
Fostering research with TUM's international partner universities
With the International Project Teams (IPT), IGSSE aims at strengthening TUM's network around the globe, supporting international and interdisciplinary scientific collaboration across all of TUM’s disciplines
Our annual calls for IPT specifically target collaborations of TUM PIs with TUM's strong international partners. IGSSE’s IPT thus help to promote the mobility of doctoral researchers and to build sustainable relations for future research opportunities.
The international project teams consist of one principal investigator and two doctoral researchers each at TUM and at the international partner university, as well as a coordinating early career researcher. At TUM, one doctoral researcher is funded by IGSSE, while the other is funded by the TUM principal investigator through other channels.
Check out the latest IPT cohort from 2024, and the ones from 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2023. Previous projects from IGSSE calls before 2020 are found in Project teams.
The new call for 2025 will be open in summer of 2025 and will be published here.
Projects will be supported through their individual institutions based on doctoral training stipends and relevant mobilities and consumables funds. At TUM this support includes:
- 1 doctoral scholarship per project for four years (2000 € per month stipend)
- Mobility funds for doctoral researchers (5000 € total)
- Funds for research stay aborad (4000 € total)
- Funds for student helpers (4000 € total)
- Direct project costs/consumables (4000 € total)
Funding is provided for five years after the grant approval letter. Unspent money will no longer be available after this date.
