Funding opportunities for Early Career Researchers at the DFG — •Andreas Deschner — German Research Foundation (DFG)

The German Research Foundation (Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft, DFG) is the central organization for third-party funding of basic research in Germany. It offers a broad spectrum of funding opportunities from individual grants to larger coordinated programmes.

This talk will give an overview of the funding programmes that are tailored to Early Career Researchers. These funding schemes facilitate, for example, research stays abroad or the establishment of a junior research group. I will focus the talk on the Walter Benjamin Programme, the Emmy Noether Programme and the Heisenberg Programme and I will explain the different scopes and aims of these programmes.
