Priority Programs (SPP)

The following provides an overview of German Research Foundation (DFG) priority programs coordinated by the Technical University of Munich.

What are priority programs?

  • Priority programs are coordinated university programs that are funded by the German Research Foundation and typically run for six years.
  • They aim to deliver tangible impetus for scientific development by providing coordinated support for important new research topics throughout Germany.
  • The projects are characterized by their outstanding quality and focus on highly original topics and/or methodologies. They lay the foundations for emerging fields.
  • In particular, the projects focus on supporting young scientists and promoting collaboration across different disciplines, fields, institutes and departments.
  • These collaborations strengthen relationships between universities and other research institutes.

Visit the DFG website for more information about priority programs.
