The Freiburg Rising Stars Academy was successful in the ideas competition "International Research Marketing" of the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG - German Research Foundation) and receives start-up funding of 100,000 euros. The aim of the project is to further strengthen the exchange of Freiburg researchers with international young researchers and to increase the visibility of the university's profile fields in the international scientific landscape.
Within the profile fields, the Clusters of Excellence CIBSS - Centre for Integrative Biological Signalling Studies and livMatS - Living, Adaptive and Energy-autonomous Materials Systems were significantly involved in the application and support the implementation of the "Rising Stars Academy".
In a video portrait of the DFG, Prof. Dr. Jürgen Rühe explains why the cluster livMatS is involved in the project.
