At its meeting on 20 September 2018, the Joint Committee of the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG, German Research Foundation) approved modifications to its Scientific Networks Programme. Once limited to early career researchers, the programme is now open to researchers at all career stages. Networks generally consist of 10 to 20 individuals who seek to engage in multi-year scientific exchange and cooperation on a research topic area of their choice across locations to attain a specific outcome.
Scientific networks may be used
Proposals to the modified programme can be submitted as of January 2019.
