DFG establishes 20 new Collaborative Research Centres
Date:5/29/2012

iative which will focus on increasing the efficiency of gas turbines through the use of innovative combustion concepts. The researchers involved in this project anticipate achieving considerably smaller energy losses, as the majority of the primarily used energy has, until now, been lost in generating greenhouse gases and other harmful substances.

Five of the new CRCs are CRC/Transregio, meaning that they are distributed across multiple locations. In a CRC/Transregio funded jointly by the Chinese partner organisation NSFC, for example, German researchers are collaborating with colleagues in Beijing.

In addition, the Grants Committee approved the continuation of a German-Chinese CRC/Transregio for a further four-year funding period.

Collaborative Research Centres enable researchers to tackle innovative, ambitious, elaborate and long-term research projects by focusing and coordinating universities' existing strengths. The CRC programme is thus intended to contribute fundamentally to raising the profile of the universities involved. The promotion of early-career researchers and gender equality also play important roles.

From July 2012, the DFG will fund a total of 232 Collaborative Research Centres.

The new CRCs are as follows (in alphabetical order by coordinating university):

"Funktionelle Mikrogele und Mikrogelsysteme" [Functional Microgels and Microgel Systems]
Coordinating university: the Aachen University of Technology. Coordinator: Professor Dr. Walter Richtering. Also involved: the Jlich Research Centre

"Organismische Reaktionen auf Stress: Prgung und Erinnerung" [Organismic Reactions to Stress: Character and Memory]
Coordinating university: the Free University of Berlin. Coordinator: Professor Dr. Monika Hilker. Also involved: the University of Potsdam; the Max Planck Institute of Molecular Plant Physiology, Potsdam.
