Scientific Networks

A multi-institution research network develops joint scientific publications, research methods or another defined outcome through exchanges over up to three years. Networks generally have 10–20 members and may include international researchers.

Applicant must have completed academic training, normally a doctorate, and work in Germany or at a German research institution abroad. Generally nonprofit institutions permitting public publication of findings only. Members must span institutions; no more than half may be based outside Germany. One person submits, with one co-applicant allowed; doctoral researchers may participate as members.
