Promoting research and innovation
We offer scientists of the MPG select programs for the further development and incubation of research results as well as the promotion of innovative spirit.
We advise you on the funding instruments and choose the most suitable support instrument for the project together with you. Some of these programs have been developed jointly by our team.
GO-Bio initial
With its new funding opportunity “GO-Bio initial” the German ministry of research and education (BMBF) supports the identification and advancement of early research ideas with recognizable potential for innovation in the life sciences. Max Planck Innovation offers specific support and advice.
Lead Discovery Center
The aim of the LDC is to transform promising research projects professionally into the development of innovative medicines and better utilize the potential of excellent fundamental research in the search for new therapies for diseases with high medical need.
TT translational funding
The technology transfer translational fund finances the further validation and development of early inventions. It is primarily meant to establish a basis for better commercialization opportunities. The funds are requested directly via Max Planck Innovation.
