The DFG Research Centres programme aims to establish a limited number of internationally visible and competitive research centres at German universities. These centres are designed to enhance the university's research profile and serve as a strategic instrument in the DFG's funding portfolio. The DFG provides initial funding and support for professorships and independent junior research groups, offering excellent working conditions for early career researchers and a framework for interdisciplinary cooperation.
Eligibility requirements are not fully detailed in the text, but the programme is aimed at research universities in Germany. The centres are established in response to thematic calls issued by the DFG.
