Project outlines in which scientific questions are formulated that are expected to have a high chance of being funded can be submitted regularly to the coordination office of the Geoverbund ABC/J by the deadline. This will next be possible in 2024 - please look out for the corresponding announcements. All applications submitted in due time and form will be discussed at the following steering group meeting. Please contact the Board of Directors of the Geoverbund ABC/J or the Coordination Office in good time before preparing project outlines.
