Collaborative Research Centres
Collaborative Research Centres are long-term university-based research institutions, established for up to 12 years, in which researchers work together within a multidisciplinary research programme.
They allow researchers to tackle innovative, challenging, complex and long-term research undertakings through the coordination and concentration of individuals and resources within the applicant universities. They therefore enable institutional priority area development and structural development. Cooperation with non-university research institutions is expressly encouraged.
Collaborative Research Centres consist of a large number of projects. The number and scope of these projects depend on the research programme. Individual projects are led by one researcher or jointly by several researchers.
Currently funded Collaborative Research Centres (projects) are listed at https://www.dfg.de/en/funded_projects/current_projects_programmes/list/i...
