Volkswagen Foundation: Key Issues for Academia and Society (German Partnership) - pre-proposals

The initiative addresses research groups in the Humanities, Cultural Studies and the Social Sciences who wish to investigate complex topics of high significance and relevance for society. Partners from the areas of science and engineering are also welcome. The Foundation does not predefine key issues. An additional criterion is an integrative project design and only with German leader or collaborator(s). Funding is available for up to 4 years.
