DFG to fund 8 new collaborative research centers

(Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft) The Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft will establish eight new Collaborative Research Centres (CRCs). This was decided by the responsible Grants Committee during its autumn session in Bonn. The new CRCs will receive a total of 62 million euros in funding. There will also be a 20 percent program allowance for indirect project costs. Two of the eight new networks are CRC/Transregios, spread across multiple research sites.
