Germany - DFG approves funding for 17 new collaborative research centres
The DFG has approved the establishment of 17 new Collaborative Research Centres as of 1 January 2010. This decision was made recently by the relevant Grants Committee in Bonn. The new centres will initially be funded for four years with a total of €132 million. In addition, 20 percent overhead funding for indirect costs will also be provided for each project.
The new CRCs include the development of an antibiotic-free diet for swine.
