Research platforms

Research platforms bring together researchers from multiple faculties or centers for joint interdisciplinary research and the preparation of third-party funding applications. Research platforms are established by the Rectorate following a call for proposals based on international peer review for a period of four years. After an evaluation, a one-time extension of up to two years is possible.
