Committee Research with Neutrons (KFN)

German-Swedish proposals for Röntgen-Ångström Cluster

Call of the BMBF, proposal deadline is May 12, 2021

We would like to draw your attention to the call of the German Federal Ministry for Education and Research (BMBF) on materials research and structural biology with neutrons and synchrotron radiation in the German-Swedish cooperation (Röntgen-Ångström-Cluster) of the framework programme "Research on the Universe and Matter - ErUM". It was published on March 30, 2021, the deadline is on May 12, 2021 (May 04 ion the Swedish side) and funding is planned to start on April 1, 2022. The projects should be planned for a period of two to four years. Concrete milestones are supposed to structure the proposals. The project agency PT-DESY will give advice in case of questions, and tips can be found on the PT DESY website. [more]
