FRIAS Project Groups foster interdisciplinary collaboration at the University of Freiburg by bringing together scholars from different fields to work on a common research theme. These groups are designed to create an intensive research environment, where members can deeply engage with their topic while benefiting from diverse perspectives and expertise. The aim of the funding programme is to strengthen a particular area of research at the University of Freiburg and to increase its visibility internationally.
FRIAS Project Groups often focus on research topics that are in the early stages of development. The aim is to advance these topics to a level where they become mature enough to attract external funding. By working on these emerging ideas, the groups help lay the groundwork for future research projects.
The call for the 2025/26 academic year closed at the end of November 2024. The call for 2026/27 is projected to open in the winter of 2025. Subscribe to our newsletter to receive timely updates and stay informed about our Funding Programmes.
