The project figures at a glance

The "Sparkling Science 2.0" funding program facilitates a wide range of disciplines and topics. For example, almost 40% of the projects come from the natural sciences, almost a quarter of all projects are in the social sciences and 12% come from the humanities. The remaining third of the projects are distributed about 10% each among medicine, technology, and teaching and learning research. The topics range from multilingualism and inclusion to technical assistance systems, energy efficiency and biodiversity.

The funded projects are led by 18 different institutions. 113 schools and 31 partners from business and society are involved in the collaboration.
