DESCRIPTION:The Volkswagen Foundation’s funding initiative 'Experiment!'
  addresses researchers in science and engineering as well as in the life s
 ciences (including immediately neighboring disciplines in the behavioral s
 ciences) who want to put a potentially transformative and risky research i
 dea to an exploratory phase. A cooperative application with a German resea
 rch institute that takes the lead is compulsory.\n\n\nSubmission deadlines
 : 05.07.2017\nFunding: Up to EUR 120'000 \nDuration: 18 months\nSubject: 
 Science and engineering\, life sciences. The ambitious aim is an explorati
 on of fundamentally new research topics disregarding the project risk and 
 perhaps the vagueness of a successful outcome\, in order to demonstrate pr
 eliminary evidence for the concept’s potential. Projects are evaluated a
 ccording to quality criteria by an interdisciplinary jury of scientists (d
 ouble blind). From the selected pool of proposals\, the jury selects the m
 ost convincing applications and additional projects are drawn in a lottery
 .\nFor more information: Please have a look at the Foundation’s website.
