Call for Proposals: Research in Groups
ZiF offers time, space, and funding for outstanding interdisciplinary research as well as ideal conditions for intensive collaboration. Scholars from all fields and countries with a completed doctorate can propose an interdisciplinary research project to be conducted at ZiF with a curated group of (preferably) international colleagues.
More Upcoming Deadlines: 25 April & 28 November 2023
Visiting Group
- Duration: one stay at ZiF of 1 to 3 months
- Funding Amount: up to EUR 50,000 to cover the costs for travel and accommodation as well as workshops and conferences; personnel expenses (buy-outs) cannot be covered.
- Visiting Groups can, for example, explore new research topics and partnerships, finalise interdisciplinary publications or conduct small research projects.
Resident Group
- Duration: one stay at ZiF of 4 to 6 months
- Funding Amount: up 400,000 Euro to cover the costs for travel and accommodation as well as workshops and conferences and personnel expenses (e.g. in the form of buy-outs).

For the deadline in April 2023 it will also be possible to apply for a ten-month Resident Group at ZiF. This option requires prior consultation in which financial details will also be communicated (zif-proposalsupport@uni-bielefeld.de).
Long-Term Group
- Duration: several visits to ZiF over a period of up to three years; these recurring visits may add up to a total of ten months.

- Long-Term Groups offer great organisational freedom and flexibility to meet the needs of long-term projects; the set-up of the group work is based on the needs of the individual project idea.
A Long-Term Group must not consist of a series of individual events. Questions or topics should be addressed in a series of coherent, interrelated meetings.
