Projects
The BCF was originally conceived and set up based on several major collaborative research projects funded by the German Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF). These projects, awarded within the framework of the “Bernstein Program”, have provided funding for research, administration, training programs, infrastructure and outreach activities, and this has created the background and environment for numerous smaller and major follow-up projects.
Since 2015, the Carl Zeiss Foundation has been funding most of our administration, infrastructure and outreach work.
