DFG Research Centres

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.
