Eight more research groups established at DFG

Germany's largest public funder, the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG), has set up eight research groups that will receive €15.8 million between them over three years. This brings the total number of research groups funded by the DFG to 218.

The DFG’s groups bring together scientists from several disciplines and locations—in Germany and beyond—to work on a joint topic. The eight additional research subjects, approved at a DFG senate meeting earlier this month, include arithmetics, geosciences and tumour biology.
