Description
The Fritz Thyssen Foundation Conference Support program provides funding for scholarly events organized by universities or non-profit research institutions. Eligible conferences must align with the foundation’s core fields—history, language and culture, state, economy and society, medicine, and the natural sciences—and demonstrate a clear connection to the German research system. This connection may be established through German participants, institutional affiliations, or research topics relevant to Germany. The program aims to facilitate active academic engagement and the organization of high-quality conferences that foster international and interdisciplinary scholarly collaboration.
