Strategic Projects
iDiv runs six so-called Strategic Projects across a variety of disciplines, scales and iDiv locations. Strategic Projects promote highly integrative longterm research approaches that rarely get third party funding.
Flexpool Projects
iDiv’s Flexpool is an internal funding mechanism with the main purpose of instigating integrative and innovative research and strengthening links among iDiv members. The list below shows currently funded Flexpool projects.
