The Stiftung der Georg-August-Universität Göttingen is an in-house university foundation that directly supports research, scholarly development, and academic life at the University of Göttingen. Its giving is highly campus-specific and often favors project-based support, early-stage research needs, student and doctoral fellowships, research travel, and discipline-specific awards or museum/collection presentations. Legacy funds within the foundation also target particular fields such as mathematics, physics, and medicine, including cancer research-related support.
Rolling, application-based support with no fixed deadlines for general and seed grants; most awards are small to mid-sized, typically under 30,000 EUR, with the foundation board deciding at regular meetings. Some legacy funds are invite-only or restricted to specific disciplines and purposes.
