CZS Prisma
The programme provides fast, non-bureaucratic support for CZS endowed professors who are already receiving funding from us.
Goals
With CZS Prisma, we enable our endowed professors to raise funds quickly for short-term needs without wasting time on bureaucratic matters. Research and teaching as well as transfer and outreach activities are supported.
The funding amount is up to 75,000 euros per project. One application can be submitted per calendar year
The prerequisite is that the funded endowed professor has at least six months of funding remaining at the time of application.

- New, particularly risky or innovative research ideas
- Implementation of innovative teaching concepts
