Funding of the Robert Luther Foundation (Science & Research at IAPP/TU Dresden)

The Robert Luther Foundation is dedicated to the sustainable promotion of science and research in the field of optoelectronics and photonics at the Dresden Integrated Center for Applied Physics and Photonic Materials (IAPP) of the Technical University of Dresden. As a non-profit foundation based in Saxony, it offers grants available on demand for educational institutions and individuals working in the disciplines of solid-state physics, semiconductor physics, optics, surface physics, or related fields. The goal is to establish a broader financial base for innovative research projects and to secure the excellent scientific work at the IAPP in the long term. Funding is provided to scientists, students, and visiting researchers who wish to advance their work through cooperation with or affiliation to the IAPP in these subject areas.

Within the framework of ongoing funding opportunities, the foundation particularly supports the organization and execution of scientific events, research projects, and contracts. Additionally, scholarships, study grants, and travel allowances are available to facilitate exchange with international research partners. Research stays by visiting scientists and further training events can also be subsidized. A prerequisite for funding is a verifiable connection to the Dresden Integrated Center for Applied Physics and Photonic Materials. Interested research actors may submit applications at any time and thus benefit from the diverse funding instruments of the Robert Luther Foundation.
