We support up to 80 scientists from the fields of engineering, economics and life sciences who are working on innovative, interdisciplinary research projects and are motivated to further develop the transfer potential of their research.
Who is the funding aimed at?
The funding is aimed at excellent researchers in the early stages of their careers - including doctoral students, postdocs and junior professors. In addition, researchers must be employed at a university or non-profit research institution in Germany at the time of application or their research must be otherwise funded there.
What is supported?
Funding is available for scientists working on interdisciplinary research topics of social relevance in the field of “Resources of the Future”. Depending on the discipline, this connection can be established in different ways. It is important that the projects already show transfer potential, even if concrete transfer goals are not yet or only slightly developed.
Is there a restriction in terms of content?
We provide funding in four disciplines: Business administration, economics, life sciences and materials science.
What does the funding include?
Fellows receive funding of up to 15,000 euros for two years. The funding can be used flexibly. For example for:
If your application is successful, you can apply for additional funding of up to 3,000 euros for equal opportunities. This is intended to make it easier to reconcile work and family life, for example when looking after children or caring for relatives. Other special needs, for example due to a disability, can also be taken into account based on the DFG criteria.
What additional support will I receive?
Applications are open to doctoral candidates, postdocs and junior professors (without tenure) who are employed at a university or non-profit research institution in Germany or whose research is otherwise funded there (e.g. via a full scholarship).
