„Länder“ Foundations
711: Naturwissenschaftliche Grundlagenforschung
Funding of Basic Research in Germany: Universities
Universities are – in principle - funded by the „Länder“ only
Exemption: third-party funding (e.g. DFG), „Exzellenzinitiative“ (jointly funded by „Bund“ and „Länder“)
711: Naturwissenschaftliche Grundlagenforschung
Funding of Basic Research in Germany: MPG
MPG is the German research organisation for Basic Research outside universities
MPG budget is covered by federal government and Länder (50:50)
MPG institutes are „tailored“ to their director: it is the goal to get the best scientist in the given field
Institutes are normally closed or at least restructured if the director leaves
711: Naturwissenschaftliche Grundlagenforschung
Funding of Basic Research in Germany: HGF
HGF is the largest German research organisation outside the universities. It pursues long-term research goals relevant for state and society.
HGF budget is covered by federal government and Länder (90:10)
One task of the HGF is to build and operate large-scale facilities as a service for external users
711: Naturwissenschaftliche Grundlagenforschung
Funding of Basic Research in Germany: DFG
DFG is an association of universities and research institutions
DFG is the central, self-governing research funding organisation in Germany )
DFG funds basic research mainly at universities via projects
DFG budget is covered by federal government and Länder (roughly 60:40)
Funds are distributed according to the demand; i.e. to the number and volume of proposals

Basic Scientific Research, Persons in BMBF
Division „Basic Scientific Research“:
Dr. Rainer Koepke
Prof. Dr. Jürgen Richter, Dr. Peter Schroth
Project Management Organizations („Projektträger“):
PT DESY: Particle Physics, Astrophysics, Astroparticle physics, Synchrotron Radiation and Ions
PT GSI: Hadron- and Nuclear Physics
PT Jülich: Neutron Scattering, Mathematics
711: Naturwissenschaftliche Grundlagenforschung
Our Tasks
Strategy development
Research Institutions, International Centres
Project funding (Verbundforschung)
New Large Scale Facilities: XFEL, FAIR, PETRA III
711: Naturwissenschaftliche Grundlagenforschung
Only activity of BMBF in Basic Research is around research infrastructures / large-scale facilities, due to:need for international coordination
need for separate budget lines
Strategy building together with scientific communities
„Verbundforschung“: Complementary to DFG funding; funds for technical developments and scientific instruments at large-scale facilities to ensure proper use
Funding of Basic Research in Germany: Role of BMBF
711: Naturwissenschaftliche Grundlagenforschung
Astroparticlephysics
Large-Scale Facilities funded via „Verbundforschung“:AMANDA/IcecubeAntaresAugerH.E.S.S., MagicKATRINGERDA
Suggested Future Projects:Neutrino Telescope (KM3Net)Gamma Telescope ArrayGravitational Wave Detector
711: Naturwissenschaftliche Grundlagenforschung
Space-based Astro(particle)physics
Space and space flight are under the responsibility of the Ministry of Economics and Technology => Space Agency at DLR
Funding via: Institutional funding of DLR
Project Funding - PT DLR
ESA
Examples: AMS
LISA Pathfinder
PAMELA
GLAST
711: Naturwissenschaftliche Grundlagenforschung
Strategy Development
National
Strategy-Workshops with users (6.000 users of large scale infrastructures are organized in 7 committees, including one for astroparticle physics)
European
ESFRI – European Strategy Forum for Research Infrastructures
Development of a European Roadmap for Research Infrastructures
International
Multilateral discussions on infrastructures of global dimension (z. B. International Linear Collider, Extremely Large Telescope)
711: Naturwissenschaftliche Grundlagenforschung
European Strategy Forum on Research Infrastructures ESFRI
Informal body of the governments of EU member and associated states, participation of European Commission
Founded 2002
Aims
„to support a coherent and strategy-led approach to policy making on research infrastructures in Europe“
„to facilitate multilateral initiatives leading to a better development, construction and use of research infrastructures in Europe“
711: Naturwissenschaftliche Grundlagenforschung
Boundary Conditions
ESFRI wants to give an overview on the needs for Research Infrastructures of pan-European interest in the next 10 to 20 years
The Roadmap is intended to support decision processes in the ESFRI member states („variable geometry“) and in the European Commission (FP7)
ESFRI will not decide on priorities, funding or sites
ESFRI wants to act as an incubator
