The New Horizons funding line is intended to give scientists at TU Braunschweig the opportunity to apply for support for larger-scale research ideas that are orientated towards current strategic discussions. The call for proposals will have a fixed thematic focus each year. The aim of the funding line is to lay the foundation for new collaborations and to serve as a template for larger DFG collaborative research projects (CRC, Research Training Groups, Research Units) in order to deepen new collaborations within the university or with non-university or international partners.
The proposal for a larger collaborative reasearch projects must be submitted no later than six months after the Impulsfonds funding expires, otherwise the Impulsfonds funding must be repaid.
