The principle of self-governing and science-led research funding embodied today by the DFG originated one hundred years ago with the founding of the Notgemeinschaft der Deutschen Wissenschaft (“Emergency Association of German Science”).

Individual higher education institutions (HEIs) have a defining impact on their region as well as their federal state. The Funding Atlas 2021 shows which priority areas are located where in Germany.
