Current calls for joint research proposals
Research is the key to innovation, and innovation is the driver of growth and prosperity. Germany together with European Union fosters research and development projects worldwide. The EU Research Framework Programme (RFP) is the largest funding programme for research projects in the world. The EU Commission has set up the European Research Council (ERC) to support investigator-driven frontier-oriented research. The organisation supports research on the sole criterion of excellence of the researcher and his or her scientific idea. In this section you will find current calls for research proposals where you can apply for grants.
