Where to get help

Research-support offices at Heidelberg institutions

HeiConnect finds calls and helps you draft. It cannot rule on eligibility, approve a budget, or sign on behalf of your institution — your research office does that, and they would rather hear from you early than review a finished draft two days before the deadline.

About this list

Curated by hand and checked against each office’s own page on the date shown. Only functional mailboxes and switchboard numbers are reproduced here — where an office publishes its team by name, we link to that page instead of copying it, so you always see the current staffing.

Not every institution publishes a funding contact. Where a row says so plainly, that is the finding, not an omission — the general secretariat is genuinely the only published route in.

Institutions not listed yet include the Max-Planck-Institut für medizinische Forschung and HITS. Missing your institute, or spotted a detail that has gone stale? cms@heiconnect.com
