The German Government supports innovative projects and ideas in research through targeted funding programmes. Research funding aims to maintain and expand scientific competences, strategic technology developments and processes.
A complete list of all projects with the participation of Clausthal University of Technology funded by the German Government would go beyond the scope of this page. The following selection therefore only includes projects of particular strategic importance and size.
