Projects in the Humanities and Social Sciences

Support of projects by the Fritz Thyssen Foundation focuses on scholars in the humanities, social science and biomedicine fields. The planned project should be limited in terms of the subject and time.

Basic Information and Condition

Applications can generally only be accepted if they come from universities or non-profit research institutions.
Applications may be filed with the foundation by one or more applicants with a doctoral/post-doctoral degree.
Planned project staff cannot file applications as applicants.
Junior scholars can apply for their own post within the framework of a Project (see own post) and thus in this case act as sole applicant.
The planned project can generally stretch over a working period of up to three years. If approved, financial resources are usually provided initially for two years; an application for an extension might need to be filed for the final third project year (see deadlines for submission).
The applicant must be actively involved in the research work plan for the project. Projects which are solely aimed at completing doctoral dissertations are not supported by the foundation.
The foundation generally does not accept any applications for projects if applications are being filed with other institutions at the same time to ease the burden on its experts assessing applications. An application that is refused by another institution can be filed with the foundation along with a note explaining why it was refused (s. application form).
It is generally not possible to revise applications that have been rejected by the Foundation.
