Building on existing infrastructure, core facilities can realize synergies, contributing thus to the aims of the university excellence strategy and providing broad access to the facilities / measures.

The Research Council of the Field of Focus 4 (FoF4), Self-Regulation and Regulation: Individuals and Societies, plans to fund Explorer Projects (EXP) with a thematic focus on social integration, social disintegration and social innovation. Projects should address aspects of self-regulation and regulation of individuals and societies with regard to conditions, mechanisms, effects, and dynamics related to different areas within or across countries using empirical research approaches or case-related studies.

The Research Council of the Field of Focus 4 (FoF4), Self-Regulation and Regulation: Individuals and Societies, plans to fund Explorer Projects with a thematic focus on the question if better data leads to better action and better policy. Projects should address the “knowledge-action gap” and examine if or if not, how, or to what extent available or provided data affects our behaviors as individuals and as societies.
