CZS Wildcard

Carl Zeiss Stiftung

With this call for application the Carl-Zeiss-Stiftung provides maximum freedom. The funding enables interdisciplinary research groups of at least three scientists to pursue with radically new, unusual, and therefore particularly bold ideas.

Detailed information:

Topic:	STEM impulses
Programme:	CZS Wildcard
Target groups:	Junior research group leaders Professors Postdocs

Funding budget:	750.000 €
Full proposal deadline:	05.05.2025

The CZS wants to push unconventional and bold interdisciplinary research projects in natural sciences, life sciences and/or engineering sciences (STEM fields). If the project does not achieve the expected objectives, these results will also lead to a gain in knowledge. Failure for reasons of content is therefore not possible.

What are the application requirement specifications?

The application must describe a research project in natural sciences, life sciences and/or en-gineering sciences (STEM fields) at the interface of two or more disciplines.

At least three scientists from two STEM disciplines must apply together for funding together. The persuasiveness of the idea and the team will matter, not prior works or the reputation of the researchers.
