PS acknowledges financial support from the Graduate Cluster Industrial Biotechnology (CLIB) at Bielefeld University, Germany.
The Graduate Cluster is supported by a grant from the Bielefeld University and from the Federal Ministry of Innovation, Science, Research and Technology (MIWFT) of the federal state North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany.
FGE, MZ, IM and DW acknowledge the receipt of a scholarship from the CLIB-Graduate Cluster Industrial Biotechnology co-financed by the Ministry of Innovation of North Rhine-Westphalia.
This will increase the Excellence Initiative Funding to €2.7 billion ($3.4 USD) over five years for new projects and renewal of existing projects for graduate schools, Clusters of Excellence, and Institutional Strategies.
The graduate students clustered the scenarios based on conceptual knowledge (i.e., physical principles such as Law of Conservation of Energy) [ 31].
Technical University Karlsruhe (TUK), the University of Munich (LMU), and Technical University Munich (TUM) won in all three categories future development, graduate programs, and cluster participation making the city of Munich the program's biggest winner.
It awarded funding in three categories: graduate schools, research clusters, and university-wide "future concepts".
The initiative, administered by the DFG German funding agency and the German Science Council (Wissenschaftsrat), awards funding in three categories: graduate schools, research clusters, and a university's overall "institutional strategies to promote top-level research".
Another 45 graduate schools and 43 clusters of excellence were also funded, not all at so-called elite universities.
The 11 A.M. sunlight beamed in from Washington Place as professors and graduate students stood in tight clusters, occasionally gliding over to the corner for some celebratory champagne.
Over the next five years, the university, two of its research clusters and a graduate school will receive €171.9 million, or about $229 million, directly from the national government.
