The Cluster of Excellence on Plant Sciences (CEPLAS) is a joint initiative of Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf (HHU), University of Cologne (UoC), Max Planck Institute for Plant Breeding Research Cologne (MPIPZ) and Forschungszentrum Jülich (FZJ). In CEPLAS scientists are developing innovative strategies for sustainable plant production and the promotion of early career researchers.
Research and Transfer at the HHU
Research and transfer
Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf (HHU) is a young, research-oriented university in the heart of the Rhineland metropolitan region. We conduct cutting-edge research in a wide array of sectors, both in individual projects and in research collaborations. A broad spectrum of subjects across five faculties forms the basis for this.
As of 01.01.2023, the DFG's guidelines for the use of the DFG Programmpauschale (DFG-PP) stipulate that the funded institutions must provide guidelines for the use of the DFG-PP. Therefore, the HHU Rectorate has issued a guideline for the use of the DFG-PP at HHU.
