The Center for Interdisciplinary Research (Zentrum für interdisziplinäre Forschung, ZiF) is a university-based Institute for Advanced Study, serving as a pivotal hub of interdisciplinary research within Bielefeld University. It offers researchers the opportunity to work together on current, original topics. ZiF has published new calls for research groups.
ZiF offers financial resources (e.g. for events, accommodation, travel expenses), the necessary infrastructure (e.g. conference and working spaces, apartments) and organisational support for an intensive examination of an interdisciplinary topic.
Researchers with a completed doctorate from all disciplines and all countries can apply to ZiF for funding for research groups in the following formats:
The detailed calls for applications (next deadline: 24 April 2025) can be found here on the ZiF website .
