MO 12.1: Lunch Talk

Wednesday, March 11, 2020, 13:10–13:55, f303

Funding by the German Research Foundation (DFG) – a brief overview — •Andreas Deschner — Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG), Kennedyallee 40, 53175 Bonn, Germany

During the last 100 years, the German Research Foundation (DFG) and its predecessors have been funding research in Germany. Today, the DFG is the central third party funding organization for basic research in Germany. It offers a broad spectrum of funding opportunities from individual grants to larger coordinated programs.

This talk will give a brief outline of the financial framework, the decision-making processes and the funding portfolio of the DFG. I will mostly focus on the different programs that offer support to early career scientists, e.g. the new Walter Benjamin for postdoctoral positions and the Emmy Noether program for junior research groups.
