Shaping the future together

Requirements: All natural and legal persons can make a one-time donation to THWS. Such donations are tax-deductible, and we will gladly issue a donation receipt.

Benefits: Your donation enables the direct funding of current projects, research, and transfer structures, or supports important programmes for young scientists and researchers.

Requirements: Regular donations can be set up by direct debit or standing order. This means that even small amounts can have a big impact over time.

Advantages: They enable the University to provide financial resources for long-term planning and thus to run sustainable projects.

Requirements: In order to include the university in your will with a bequest or inheritance, it is important to seek legal advice in good time and to clearly define the desired form of donation. A bequest is tax-exempt, which means that the entire amount will be used for the desired purpose.

Advantages: You create a lasting legacy for future generations by ensuring that your values and visionary ideas live on.

As a legal entity, but of course also as a private individual, you can participate in the funding of one of our technology transfer centres, e.g. in the form of co-financing the associated endowed professorship.

Requirements: Earmarked donations require precise agreements to ensure that the funds are used in the selected area or project. We are at your disposal to implement these wishes in a binding manner.

Advantages: You have control over which area benefits from your support, e.g. specialised research institutions or innovative scientific methods.

Requirements: Companies or other institutions can get involved in promoting young talent at THWS through a doctoral scholarship. The funds must be allocated to the University before the planned funding period, which then distributes the funds to young talents.

Advantages: With your financial support, we award scholarships to young researchers with a master's degree who are conducting or intend to conduct research at THWS in a subject area of their choice as part of a doctoral programme. The type of scholarship and the amount of funding are flexible.

In addition to the general contacts in the fundraising department, Dr. Simone Stork, an employee at the Campus for Applied Research, is happy to answer any further questions you may have about the specific focus of the doctoral scholarships.
