The Senate of the German Research Foundation (DFG) has elected Prof. Stefan Heinrich, head of the Institute of Particle Process Engineering and Particle Technology at the Hamburg University of Technology, as a member of the Senate Committee for Collaborative Research Centres and thus also as a scientific member of the Grants Committee for Collaborative Research Centres from 1 January 2025. The election is valid for both committees until December 31, 2027.
The Senate Committee is composed of 39 scientists from various fields. Its task is to design the basic scientific features of the Collaborative Research Program and to evaluate the results of advisory discussions on draft proposals. As part of the Grants Committee on Collaborative Research Centres, the members are involved in decisions on the funding of Collaborative Research Centres, in which representatives of the federal and state governments also participate. The committee members also report on the process and results of reviews.
“I am very pleased to take on this new and highly responsible task and would like to thank the German Research Foundation for its trust in our collaboration,” explains Prof. Heinrich.
