Research in Groups at ZiF Bielefeld

The funding format "Research in Groups" is open to scholars from all disciplines post-PhD, based in Germany and abroad. They can propose a research project to be conducted with a curated group of (preferably) international colleagues. If their collaborative application is successful, ZiF will host the group on its campus, offering ideal working conditions. There are three different group formats with varying time span and funding options.

The funding formats have been redesigned in 2022. The previous formats were called Research Groups (comparable to the new Resident Groups) and Cooperation Groups (comparable to the new Long-Term Groups).

Upcoming Deadlines for Application: 23 April 2024, 28 November 2024
