Funding Atlas 2018

50 years ago, the DFG launched Collaborative Research Centres (CRCs) as a funding instrument. Ever since this programme was first introduced, the German Council of Science and Humanities has regularly testified to the fact that it represents a recognised standard. Today, CRCs are among the most important and prominent types of research groups in the German research landscape. They create highly effective groups of university-based researchers, provide impetus for intensifying scientific cooperation, and promote the establishment of core research areas at universities.

See for yourself in which locations CRCs have successfully strengthened different scientific disciplines and how they have positive structural effects through regional and nationwide collaborative relationships.
