Researchers from the University of Magdeburg elected to the DFG Review Board
The members of the review boards evaluate research proposals and thus assume a central role in the DFG's funding procedures.
Eight scientists from Otto-von-Guericke-Universität Magdeburg have been elected to the review board of the Deutschen Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) ( German Research Foundation) including five researchers from the Magdeburg University Medical Center. The review board members thus play an important role in the German scientific community and in ensuring the professional quality of DFG-funded projects. For the next four years from 2024 to 2028, the eight researchers will review and evaluate funding proposals in their respective subject areas and formulate recommendations for the DFG's committees. At the same time, the review board members will advise the DFG on the further development and design of its funding programs.
