16Gerda Henkel Foundation
Funding Programme Democracy
Aim “[…] the Gerda Henkel Foundation has established a new funding initiative for de-
mocracy, which is divided into two subsections with different perspectives:
The first, historically oriented subsection on the topic of Democracy as a
Utopia, Experience and Threats aims at placing the aforementioned problem-
atic issues in the broader historical context and considering the history of con-
flicts over the foundation of the social order.
The second subsection, which is oriented towards analysis of the present
situation and predictions for the future, focuses on Transformations of De-
mocracy? Or: The Contours of Future Democratic Society. It represents an
invitation to venture contributions, speculations and assertions so that we
might learn to better understand the complex present-day situation and the
processes of profound transformation that are taking shape while also trying
to trace the contours of future society.”
Target group research group from the entire spectrum of humanities and social sciences
Duration up to 3 years

Funding Programme Forced Migration
Aim “While forced migration has been a subject of research in Anglo-Saxon scholarship
since the 1980s, the attention paid thereto has recently seen significant increase in
a number of specific European academic landscapes. African, Asian, Australian,
and Latin American research has also seen a proliferation of such inquiries. Thus
far, however, the approaches taken have been fragmented and there remain vari-
ous thematic gaps, methodological deficits, and limited broader geographic
connections. Hence there is a need to strengthen this core research and further
expand the horizons of the interdisciplinary field of Forced Migration Studies going
forward.”
Target group internationally oriented, multidimensional research projects on forced migration
that address questions receiving insufficient attention in the relevant debates thus
far
Duration up to 3 years

aid, material aid

Aim “The enormous process of urbanization, which has defined world history for thou-
sands of years in different economic situations and with regional variations, and
which is now developing a particular dynamism, has another side to it that initially
appears paradoxical – namely the shrinking and entirely abandoned cities, the so-
called Lost Cities. Current transformation processes in various parts of the world
mean that many of these Lost Cities are emerging. Nevertheless, the phenomenon
is not a new one, but has been a widespread hallmark of urban history since the
emergence of urban culture in the fourth century B.C. It has therefore been per-
ceived, reflected on and interpreted in very different ways in the cultural history of
urban life. With this finding as a starting point and a goal of placing current problem
situations in a greater historical context, the Gerda Henkel Foundation has es-
tablished a new funding programme for the theme Lost Cities. Perception of and
living with abandoned cities in the cultures of the world.”
Target group group of researchers of at least two researchers actively involved in the project
work
Duration up to 3 years
Funding personnel costs, family grant, monthly endowment for scholarships abroad, travel

20TRANSFER
Applied research projects with a clear orientation towards technology or knowledge transfer are supported by depart-
ment 75 for the following topics: advice on opportunities for transfer funding, in particular on current funding programs
and calls for proposals; analysis of patenting potential; market/competition analysis and commercialisation strategy.
Consultancy on start-up-related topics and funding programs is provided in close cooperation with Gateway, the UoC
entrepreneurship center. For meaningful support, please approach our team 6-4 weeks before submission date, to
allow for a comprehensive consultancy service on your grant. For grant support, please write to a75.transferfoerder-
ung@verw.uni-koeln.de.
Knowledge and Technology Transfer
DFG | Knowledge Transfer
Aim Transfer projects are based on results generated by DFG-funded research pro-
jects. They serve to test scientific insights in practice and, in collaboration with
an application partner, develop basic-research findings into prototypes or exem-
plary applications. The application partner may be a commercial enterprise or a
non-profit institution, especially in the public sector.
Target group scientists participating in DFG grant programmes; proposals for knowledge transfer
projects may be submitted under both the individual grants programmes and coor-
dinated programmes of the DFG.
Duration up to 3 years
Funding The categories of funds to be applied for correspond to the funding procedure in
which the proposal is submitted, only the scientific partners receive funding.
Deadline continuously open

European Research Council (ERC) | Proof of Concept
Aim The Proof of Concept (PoC) grant supplements the research grants awarded by the
European Research Council (ERC). It is geared exclusively toward researchers who
already hold an ERC grant and wish to utilize a research finding from their ongoing
or already completed project in the pre-commercial stage. The objective of a Proof
of Concept project is to review the market potential of an idea and to further de-
velop it in terms of readiness for application, commercialization, or marketing.
The funds can be used for market research, technical validation, feasibility studies,
clearing up issues of intellectual property, analysis of business opportunities, or
preparation of a business plan.
Target group researchers who have already received an ERC grant (StG/CoG/AdG/SyG); ERC
project must either still be in progress or have been completed within the last year
