NRW funding – Junior groups
Postdoc Return Programme of the state of North Rhine-Westphalia
With its Postdoc Return Programme, the Ministry of Culture and Science of North Rhine-Westphalia (MKW NRW) makes it particularly easy for researchers to set up their own research group at a university of their choice in North Rhine-Westphalia. It supports outstanding scientists who had been living in Germany before their research stay abroad and wish to return, with funding of up to €1.25 million for a period of five years.
Current junior research groups at UDE:
Leaders of former junior research groups at the UDE:
- Prof. Dr. Dominik Boos
Faculty of Biology
- Prof. Dr. Sebastian Kaiser

The Ministry of Culture and Science is supporting the processes of social change brought about by digitisation in North Rhine-Westphalia by funding junior research groups and a cross-location research training group under the "Digital Society" funding line.
Young Researcher Groups in the Programme:
- Dr. German Neubaum, Department of Computer and Applied Cognitive Science, Faculty of Engineering
Digital Citizenship in Network Technologies (DICINT) - The emergence of opinion-based homogeneity in online networks and its impact on social participation processes
- Dr. Isabelle Borucki, Faculty of Social Sciences
Digital Party Research (DIPART). Parties in digital change
The UDE is involved in two doctoral tandem:
- "Ethics and Responsibility in the Digital Society: Data Practices in Administration and Journalism"
Prof. Christoph Bieber, Faculty of Social Sciences (together with the HHU Düsseldorf)
- "Incivility in online political communication: types, causes, effects and interventions".
Prof. Nicole Krämer, Department of Computer and Applied Cognitive Science, Faculty of Engineering (together with the University of Bonn)
The NRW PhD programme launched in 2014 by the Ministry of Culture and Science (MKW) for the state of NRW funds a structured graduate training programme dealing with the subjects involved in the research strategy for the state of “Forschungskollegs NRW” [Research Colleges NRW].
