Research Buildings as per Art. 91b GG
What is considered major equipment in research buildings, and how is it financed and processed?
The major equipment proposed here differs from that in the Major Research Instrumentation Programme in that this equipment is financed within the framework of constructing a research building.
Proposals by the states for the financing of research buildings are submitted to the federal government and the German Council of Science and Humanities. The Council makes recommendations to the BLK (Federal-State Commission for Educational Planning and Research) as to which of the measures applied for by the state should be realised. The BLK decides at least once annually about the acceptance of the project into the joint funding.
Proposals for major instrumentation exceeding €5 million undergo the same application procedure as proposals for research buildings. The DFG provides the German Council of Science and Humanities with a recommendation about the equipment and for instrumentation contained in research buildings.
The financial processing of research buildings is negotiated between the federal government and the respective state.
Otherwise the guidelines for the Major Research Instrumentation Programme apply.
