Successful Grant Applications for LifeScience Projects
GRANT DEADLINES
In order to benefit from public grant programmes for your research and development projects, the necessary applications must be submitted on time. Most funding opportunities for R&D activities are usually accompanied by fixed submission deadlines of applications for these programmes. If you would like to find out about the submission deadlines for the most important German and international funding programmes, you will find the information you need here. We have summarised the most important deadlines for funding opportunities for you below; the last update was on May 27th, 2025 (information without guarantee). For regional programmes in Germany, please contact us directly.
This page is thematically organised: under each research area (health; biotech/bioeconomy; IT in Life Sciences; start-up programmes; Plants, environment, climate, agriculture; "buttom up approaches" - open to all topics, international partnerships) you find German, EU and other international programmes).
If you need further information regarding the programs, please call us: +49 30 7720 5920 or contact us via email: info@consultech.de.
