Independent Research Groups
A central strategic objective of our cluster is the qualification and promotion of young researchers. Therefore our funding proposal included funding for 20 independent research groups as the single most important budget item. Upon acceptance into the program, successful applicants are given the opportunity for establishing their own research teams, and for carrying out their own research agenda. Each junior research group has its own budget, giving the group complete scientific independence.
