Subject-Specific Analyses in the Life Sciences

The thematic priorities set by German HEIs in the life sciences are illuminated here using information on third-party funding by the DFG (in three subject areas and seven research fields), the federal government (in two funding areas) and the EU (in two funding areas). Together with ranking lists of HEIs, thematic funding profiles that emerge from the distribution of DFG awards are also presented here in the form of a subject map.
