Description
The Reinhart Koselleck Projects initiative, offered by the German Research Foundation (DFG), is designed to enable leading researchers with an outstanding scientific track record to pursue exceptionally innovative or higher-risk research projects. The program specifically targets ideas that cannot be funded through other DFG schemes or implemented within the applicant’s own institution. Funding is intended to support pioneering research that pushes the boundaries of scientific knowledge and may involve greater uncertainty or risk than typical projects. The program is open to all disciplines.
