Collaborative Research Centers at RWTH Aachen University
In Collaborative Research Centers, researchers from a broad range of disciplines work together on complex topics in fundamental research from an integrative, interdisciplinary perspective. The DFG-funded centers are established for a period of up to 12 years.
