• Applicant: Professor Dr. Thomas Wiegand
• Subject Area: Physical Chemistry of Molecules, Liquids and Interfaces, Biophysical Chemistry ; Physical Chemistry of Solids and Surfaces, Material Characterisation
• Term: since 2021
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 455238107

The precondition for a Heisenberg Programme funding is high scientific quality and originality of the research project at international level and suitability for further qualification as a university teacher. Applicants need to meet all the requirements for appointment to a permanent professorship.The aim of this programme is to enable outstanding scientists to prepare for a scientific leadership function, and simultaneously work on further research topics. This research does not necessarily need to be planned and carried out in the form of a project.For this reason, and unlike the procedure in other funding programmes, both the abstracts of applications and final reports are not required and will therefore not be published in GEPRIS.
