Networking of NeuroCure in DFG-Funded Projects

The NeuroCure Cluster of Excellence is actively networked into the German research landscape. In addition to 23 collaborative research centres, six transregional centres, seven post-graduate research groups and 13 priority programs, NeuroCure scientists are involved in 7 research groups and 4 clinical research groups of the DFG. An Emmy Noether junior research group, three Heisenberg fellowships and a Heisenberg professorship underline the scientific excellence of the cluster.
