Plus 3 recipients.
The key successes of our Plus 3 programme: Approximately 90% of recipients whose funding started between 2010 and 2023, have obtained professorships or tenured group leader positions, around 40 % of all recipients come from abroad. Despite the fact that women represent only about 30 % of the applicants, they comprise almost 40 % of Plus 3 recipients. In this way, the Plus 3 programme serves as a springboard during one of the most decisive career phases of young scientists.
