What are Research Units?

  • Research Units are research projects, which, in terms of thematic focus, duration and financial resources, go far beyond the funding options available under Individual Grants or Priority Programmes.
  • Projects are required to be of high scientific quality and originality on an international level.
  • Funding is to be applied for different modules; Emmy Noether Independent Junior Research Groups and Heisenberg grant holders may be associated.
  • Research cooperation between universities and external partners are deepened through individual projects and modules both on a national and international level.
