RUB Research School

Internationalizing the own Research

Overview of former IRB-grantees

The Research School already awarded IRB funding to doctoral researchers from October 2013 to June 2016. At that time, the International Realisation Budget was not yet a prize, but one of the Research School's funding lines. The following table provides an overview of all funded doctoral researchers and their research projects.
