Description
The Ladenburg College of the Daimler and Benz Foundation supports interdisciplinary research consortia throughout Germany that sustainably address complex scientific questions over a period typically lasting 36 months. Under the leadership of a scientific coordinator with spokesperson responsibilities, several working groups at German and international research institutions independently work on their defined program. The targeted funding aims to intensify collaboration between disciplines and strengthen scientific exchange. Calls for proposals are regularly published at irregular intervals to select new consortium projects and advance innovative topics.
Primarily funded are positions for doctoral candidates as well as travel expenses to enable research stays and specialist excursions. Material resources are only eligible for limited funding, while basic equipment and overhead costs are excluded. Eligible to apply are educational institutions that can demonstrate an interdisciplinary consortium with several working groups and plan a project duration of three years. In particular, doctoral candidates and their supervising working groups benefit from this support to implement research projects with a sustainable perspective. Interested parties can find the current deadlines and details on the funding requirements on the Daimler and Benz Foundation’s website.
