Proposal Template	
for the Continuation of a 
Collaborative Research Centre	

Disclaimer: The English translation of this document is provided for informational purposes. In the event of a discrepancy between the English and the German versions, the German text takes precedence.

Preliminary note

This template offers guidance in preparing a renewal proposal to continue an existing Collaborative Research Centre or a CRC/Transregio. 

Please refer to the annotated German version for detailed information on all sections and templates.

Texts printed in grey serve as form fields and should be replaced by your own text, while text printed in black should also appear in the final version. Aspects that apply only to CRC/Transregio, but not to local Collaborative Research Centres, are shaded in blue.

Proposals are to be submitted in DIN A4 format, Arial 11pt font (captions, publication lists and tables may be written in a smaller font size) and may not exceed 400 pages.
