Summary: Supports outstanding researchers in pursuing exceptionally innovative or high-risk scientific projects not fundable through other DFG programs or institutional frameworks.
The Reinhart Koselleck Projects program, offered by the German Research Foundation (DFG), is designed to empower researchers with outstanding scientific achievements to undertake highly innovative or higher-risk projects over a five-year period. This initiative is intended for scholars whose proposed research cannot be funded through other DFG programs or within the framework of their host institution. The program encourages bold, original research that pushes disciplinary boundaries and may involve unpredictable outcomes.
