Fourth Announcement of Funding Lines by the Research Council of Field of Focus 3

The announcement of Funding Lines by the Research Council of Field of Focus 3 “Cultural Dynamics in Globalised Worlds” (FoF 3) comes as part of the university’s institutional strategy of the Excellence Initiative II. With this announcement, the University of Heidelberg is offering financial resources for small- and medium-sized scientific projects, particularly those of an interdisciplinary nature. The allocation of the funds will be done in free competition within the university.
In this round of applications, a total of maximum € 220.000 is available for all five of funding lines of the FoF 3 (“Cultural Heritage and History”, “Language, Cognition, Culture”, “Text-Worlds”, “Transcultural Studies” and “Core Facilities”).

Goal:

This funding is above all designed to bring about a renewed theoretical and methodological development in the profile areas defined in the funding lines and promote a dialogue across disciplines at the University of Heidelberg. Funding can be given to scientific projects of a maximum of 12 months duration (prolongation depends on the budgetary situation), and, in special cases, conferences and workshops that promote the strategic development of the Heidelberg humanities with a view to the overall objectives of FoF 3. Scientific project applications must show a viable future perspective within a larger funding context (e.g.  DFG, BMBF, ERC). Co-operations with partners outside the university are explicitly desired. Applications may be written in German or English.
The funding of individual qualification theses (e.g. habilitation theses) is not possible.

The proposed funding period starts on January 1, 2016.

Assessment and Decision:

The Research Council of FoF 3 will make a recommendation, the decision to grant funding is made by the Chancellor’s Office at the University of Heidelberg.
