Rise up! recipients
The Rise up! programme has been supporting newly appointed W2 professors at German universities, giving them the financial leeway to advance particularly creative and daring research programmes.
The first selection rounds have shown what a great response the new funding programme is receiving from the scientific community and what potential the selected scientists and their proposed research programmes have.
Who has successfully applied for the Rise up! programme?
Listed below are grantees with the institutions at which they were conducting research upon submitting their applications.
