The Dahlem Research School (DRS) is the strategic center for scholars and scientists during their early qualification and professional phase. The DRS ensures ongoing, systematic, long-term support for doctoral candidates and postdocs. To achieve this, it engages in strategy and quality development while also offering a wide range of services. These include individual and institutional advising alike, an extensive range of qualification options, and scholarships and grants for junior scholars and scientists.

A special welcome service provides a breakdown of all of the important, useful, and practical information needed for international junior scholars and scientists who wish to engage in doctoral study and work at Freie Universität.

The Dahlem Research School is supported within the scope of the institutional strategy of Freie Universität Berlin.
