New research paths

Germany offers international scientists and academics an attractive research landscape and a wide range of funding options.

What sets the German research landscape apart? Great organisations and good funding: Germany boasts over 1,000 publicly funded research institutions, plus numerous departments of research and development in industry. Recently, annual internal corporate expenditure on research and development (R&D) in Germany reached a new record high of 75.6 billion euros. It is thanks in part to the state and universities that Germany ranks among the top few international countries that spend more than 3 percent of gross domestic product on R&D. Germany is using its Excellence Strategy to strengthen its universities – both in the top tier and across the board. Through its High-Tech Strategy 2025, it is promoting innovations that will help combat cancer, reduce plastic in the environment and make industry largely greenhouse gas neutral, to name but a few.

What career opportunities are there in Germany? Germany offers a wide range of options to researchers at all kinds of career stages. This starts with doctoral students: Germany has the most doctoral students in the European Union by far, with over 5,500 international students completing their PhD in Germany each year on average. The fact that around 3,500 professors from other countries are employed at German universities is a sign of their increasing internationalisation. In terms of the number of R&D personnel as a proportion of the total number of gainfully employed, Germany far exceeds the European Union average, and is also ahead of China and Japan. Around two thirds of these employees drive innovation forward in industry.

How are international researchers in Germany funded? Germany attaches great importance to funding research-driven innovation. Around a third of R&D expenditure comes from the public sector. Numerous organisations, including the DAAD and the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation , provide funding for international researchers – over 33,000 are currently being supported with grants. The “Research in Germany” portal and the “ Funding your research in Germany ” brochure provide comprehensive information about the various funding opportunities.

This database allows you to search for specific grants and scholarships.

Navigation and service

Research funding : , theme: about us.

Who provides funding and how, where do applications have to be submitted - these are important questions regarding research funding. This page provides the answers.

The Federal Ministry of Education and Research ( BMBF ) supports innovative projects and ideas in research through targeted funding programmes.

Why fund research?

Research and development together with the latest production processes are the basis for the new technological developments of tomorrow. Research funding has the goal of financing the development of new ideas and technologies. Funding is provided for projects in a wide spectrum of research areas. The range covers everything from basic research in natural sciences, environmentally friendly sustainable development, new technologies, information and communication technologies, the life sciences, work design, structural research funding at institutions of higher education to innovation support and technology transfer.

EU-wide standardized regulations play a decisive role in the basic conditions of research funding. These regulations apply to, for example, definitions for research institutions and businesses, the criteria for what can be considered small and medium enterprises, or what relation between funding and equity capital is permissible with funded businesses.

Decisions for or against funding are always based on the clarification of points such as:  

• Degree of innovation: how innovative is a project from a scientific or technical perspective?
• Utilization: how can the prospects of success be assessed? With technological developments, is there a utilization strategy?
• Avoidance of double funding: has funding already been provided for the project idea?

Research funding supports scientific institutions and enterprises. Individual funding is thereby expressly excluded. The BMBF funds individual researchers via special funding institutions.

Three steps can provide orientation in research funding:

• Overview of the thematic focuses
• Funded Projects
• Access to forms and addresses

The Federal “Research and Innovation” Funding Advisory Service offers information and advice on all current funding measures free of charge.

Project Lump Sum

The Federal Government intends to structurally and lastingly strengthen the performance and competitiveness of Germany’s institutions of higher education through the introduction of a project lump sum for these institutions as part of the direct project funding from section 30.

As of the 2011 budgetary year, the BMBF grants a project lump sum in the amount of 10 per cent of the contributions from its specialized programmes as part of the direct project funding for institutions of higher education. As of 2012, this lump sum increased from 10 per cent to 20 per cent for new allocations. The project lump sums support the financing of project expenditures arising indirectly from the individual research projects.

General or thematically specific funding information

Research funding is generally based on research fields. The goals of funding are stipulated by research programmes. There is however a series of crosscutting, interdisciplinary measures. Thematic orientation is provided by the funding priorities of the BMBF and the funding regulations of the individual areas.

About the 2024 research grants

This research grants program is open to scientists in all career stages who are affiliated with any research-based institution, university or company.

In the first stage of the Research Grants applications process, applicants submit their application containing non-confidential information only. You may apply for more than one grant or submit your application for more than one category. If your application is successful, you are invited to submit a full proposal under confidentiality and join a deep-dive workshop. All applicants are informed about the decision of the selection committee. 

Deep dive Workshops

The second stage of the Research Grant process is a collaborative step, the deep-dive workshop. Finalists submit their full proposals and then work together with our managers and scientists to jointly optimize submitted project proposals. All teams reaching this stage will be informed in October. The deep-dive workshops are currently scheduled to take place in November 2024. The culmination of the deep-dive workshops will be the selection of the research grant winners.

Research Grant Funding

The third stage of the Research Grants process is the Research Grant funding phase. To enable pay-out and project start, we enter into bilateral collaboration agreements with the winning recipients. Our collaborative Research Grants are a unique opportunity for researchers who are interested in working with our scientists and receive guidance from industry. During the Research Grant funding period, there will therefore be regular meetings with our scientists. 

Molecular glue degraders and other PPI stabilisers

In this category, we are providing financial support for research initiatives that concentrate on pioneering novel approaches for the screening & discovery of molecular glues.  

Discovery Strategies for Molecular Glue degraders & other protein-protein-interaction stabilizers

Molecular glues are small molecules capable of inducing proximity between a target protein and an effector protein inside the cells, hence relying on the effector protein to elicit target protein function. Molecular glues have been discovered, that lead to degradation (e.g. IMIDs) [1], inhibition (e.g. cyclosporin A) [2] or activation of the target protein (asukamycin)[3].

Targeting proteins via the molecular glue mechanism holds the promise to tackle non-ligandable proteins that are considered “non-druggable". However, the identification of degraders or other proximity inducers utilizing this mode of action for specific proteins has historically been largely serendipitous [1]. 

We are committed to providing financial support for research initiatives that concentrate on pioneering novel approaches for the screening and discovery of molecular glues.

We are offering one grant up up to EUR 100,000 for up to three years with potential further collaboration.

• Geoffrey et al., Screening for molecular glues – Challenges and opportunities,  SLAS Discovery 2023 .  
• Liu et al., Calcineurin is a common target of cyclophilin-cyclosporin A and FKBP-FK506 complexes,  Cell 1991 .  
• Isobe et al., Manumycin polyketides act as molecular glues between UBR7 and P53,  Nat Chem Biol 2020 . 

Augmented Reality Digital Twin

We are seeking research proposals to build an interactive Augmented Reality Digital Twin for our automated system’s monitoring and control. 

We are seeking research proposals to build an interactive Augmented Reality Digital Twin for our automated system’s monitoring and control. 

In an autonomous laboratory, drug discovery integrates the molecular design, chemical synthesis and biological assays and testing into one continuous process: design-make-test-analyse or DMTA. AI, automations and robotics will greatly accelerate the DMTA cycle for faster drug discoveries. 

We have designed an autonomous laboratory with state-of-the-art equipment, advanced software tools and novel techniques. This automated system will require an advanced monitoring system. 

We are offering one grant comprising 120,000 € for one year with potential further collaboration.
