Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (German Research Foundation)

The Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (German Research Foundation, DFG) is Germany’s primary organization for funding scientific research. It supports university-based researchers across various disciplines by providing grants for projects, ideas, and collaborations. The DFG aims to promote high-quality research, advance knowledge, and strengthen Germany’s role in the global scientific community. It does not conduct research itself but acts as a facilitator, ensuring researchers have the resources they need to explore new ideas, answer important questions, and contribute to societal progress through scientific discovery.
