Funding Programmes
A variety of funding opportunities are available to establish research teams as well as to support individual researchers with strong academic records in the form of fellowships and stipends. The Foundation emphasises gender balance in science.
Schaller Research Groups
Five Schaller Research Groups were established at Heidelberg University between October 2011 and April 2012, following a call for proposals from internationally-known scientists working in neurobiology and virology.
Additional five CHS-Groups were funded and have started in Heidelberg in fall 2017 and one in summer 2022.
