New calls for research groups at the ZiF


The Center for Interdisciplinary Research (Zentrum für interdisziplinäre Forschung, ZiF) is a university-based Institute for Advanced Study, serving as a pivotal hub of interdisciplinary research within Bielefeld University. It offers researchers the opportunity to work together on current, original topics. ZiF has published new calls for research groups.

ZiF offers financial resources (e.g. for events, accommodation, travel expenses), the necessary infrastructure (e.g. conference and working spaces, apartments) and organisational support for an intensive examination of an interdisciplinary topic.

Researchers with a completed doctorate from all disciplines and all countries can apply to ZiF for funding for research groups in the following formats:

  • Visiting Groups: 1 to 3 months at ZiF; up to EUR 50,000 for travel, accommodation, workshops/conferences at ZiF, personnel expenses (buy-outs) cannot be covered
  • Resident Groups: 4 to 6 months at ZiF; up to EUR 400,000 for travel, accommodation, workshops/conferences at ZiF, personnel expenses, e.g. in the form of buy-outs
  • Long-Term Groups: several visits to ZiF over a period of up to three years; up to EUR 200,000 for travel, accommodation, workshops/conferences at ZiF, personnel expenses (buy-outs) cannot be covered

The detailed calls for applications (next deadline: 24 April 2025) can be found here on the ZiF website.

Testimonials

For well over a decade, in my capacity as a researcher, broadcaster, and producer, I have relied heavily on Alphagalileo.
All of my work trips have been planned around stories that I've found on this site.
The under embargo section allows us to plan ahead and the news releases enable us to find key experts.
Going through the tailored daily updates is the best way to start the day. It's such a critical service for me and many of my colleagues.
Koula Bouloukos, Senior manager, Editorial & Production Underknown
We have used AlphaGalileo since its foundation but frankly we need it more than ever now to ensure our research news is heard across Europe, Asia and North America. As one of the UK’s leading research universities we want to continue to work with other outstanding researchers in Europe. AlphaGalileo helps us to continue to bring our research story to them and the rest of the world.
Peter Dunn, Director of Press and Media Relations at the University of Warwick
AlphaGalileo has helped us more than double our reach at SciDev.Net. The service has enabled our journalists around the world to reach the mainstream media with articles about the impact of science on people in low- and middle-income countries, leading to big increases in the number of SciDev.Net articles that have been republished.
