Funding Opportunities

Are you interested in training or further education at the Institute for EEG-Neurofeedback IFEN. Many participants are wondering whether and to what extent they can access public funding. On this page, you will find selected contact points where you can find information about current programs.

Please note that the funding landscape is constantly changing and the requirements vary depending on your place of residence, professional situation, and federal state. The official information from the relevant authorities is always authoritative.

Funding programs of the federal states (Germany)

In Germany, numerous federal states offer their own programs to support professional development. These include, for example, education vouchers, subsidies for course fees, ESF+-funded training projects, and regulations on educational leave or time off for educational purposes.

Whether and in what form your participation in IFEN events is eligible for funding depends on the regulations of your federal state and your personal circumstances. Please contact the relevant state ministries, continuing education portals, or chambers of commerce directly for information.

Bayern

In Bavaria, various projects for in-company training are funded through the European Social Fund Plus (ESF+). Under certain conditions, companies can apply for subsidies to cover the costs of external training programs for their employees.

Further information on current funding programs can be obtained from the Bavarian State Ministry for Family, Labour and Social Affairs:

Educational leave / educational time off

In several German states, there is a legal entitlement to educational leave. Employees can take a limited number of days off per year with continued payment of their wages to participate in recognized professional development courses.

The specific details (number of days, recognition of events, deadlines, procedures) vary from state to state. Information on this can be found on the websites of the respective state ministries or the responsible educational leave offices.

Funding opportunities in Austria

In Austria, various funding instruments exist at the state level to support vocational training, for example in the form of education accounts or direct subsidies for course fees. The conditions (funding amounts, target groups, eligible measures) are determined by the individual states and are regularly adjusted.
