Priority Programmes
A particular feature of the Priority Programme is the nationwide collaboration between its participating researchers. The Priority Programmes aim to give clear impetus to the advancement of science through important new topics.
Please note that proposals to establish a priority program must be submitted to the DFG at the latest by 15th of October of a given year.
You can find more information at the website of the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG, German Research Foundation).
Do you intend to establish a Priority Programme? We provide assistance and support during the application phase.
