Funding Format
The network is funded with 3.3 million euros over a period of four years (April 2022 to March 2026) by the Bavarian State Ministry for Science and the Arts. In this funding format, interdisciplinary research on complex social problems, the enrichment of the discourse on the topic and the qualification of young scientists are to be emphasized as special features and are therefore special requirements for the funding of the project. One of the aims of the network is to enable eight young scientists to gain a doctorate or post-doctorate degree during its term and to gain experience in interdisciplinary research.
In addition to ForDaySec, there are other Bavarian research networks, some of which are also funded by the Bavarian Ministry of Science, others by other funding providers.
All research associations are networked under the umbrella of the Bavarian Research Alliance (BayFOR). We would like to thank the Bavarian State Ministry of Science and the Arts for funding the research association. The network is monitored and evaluated by a committee of renowned scientists. We also greatly appreciate this contribution to the success of the research association and would like to express our sincere thanks to our colleagues.
Scientific Evaluation
The research association is accompanied by a group of scientific surveyors who advise the network and evaluate the interim and final results.
