The German Science Foundation is a science funding institution. The German Science Foundation can not only fund the purchase of expensive instruments, but also fund the travel expenses of researchers to attend meetings or meet with industry experts. The foundation brings together various institutions and disciplines in some special research fields to complete the project together.
Features:
The staff of the German Science Foundation (DFG) is only 750 people, which is like a dwarf among the giants of major scientific organizations in Germany, but this is only a representation. The German Science Foundation is not only a scientific research self-management center, but also the largest scientific research promotion institution in Europe, which plays an important role in regulating German scientific research.
For example, if an archaeologist wants to dig abroad, or a physicist wants to test a new theory, and the funds of his institute are not enough to fund research projects, the German Science Foundation can provide support after carefully studying his ideas.
