The German Research Foundation -- a short overview — •Cosima Schuster and Michael Mößle — Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft, Bonn

The German Research Foundation (DFG) is the central funding organization for basic research in Germany. As a self-governing organization for science and research it offers a broad spectrum of funding opportunities from individual grants to larger coordinated programmes. Thereby, DFG funding shall enable interdisciplinary and international cooperation between researchers. One of the DFG's key objectives is the promotion of young scientists and researchers. DFG offers appropriate support at every phase of their qualification. The talk will give an overview about DFG funding possibilities, the decision processes, the financial framework/budget distribution between programmes and scientific fields, and the funding rates. In particular, funding programmes for early career scientists and international programmes will be discussed in detail, e.g. the postdoctoral research fellowship for a stay abroad and the Emmy-Noether-programme.
