Research Explorer
Are you looking for an institution where you can carry out your research project? Or are you looking for a research contact?
To help you reach your goal, the DAAD, in cooperation with the German Research Foundation (DFG), now offers you the opportunity to search through some 17,000 German research institutions. The database includes information on institutes and departments at German universities as well as on research institutions and organisations working outside the university sector.
