Science Diplomacy - Dr. Jorg Schneider
The DFG (German Research Foundation) is a major player in funding research in Germany through a bottom-up process where funding is determined by scientific peer review rather than political priorities. The DFG funds both individual projects and institutional funding. It also works internationally to support German science diplomacy through offices and relationships with groups in countries around the world like China, Russia, India, and Iran.
