Collaborative Research Centres (CRC) or Sonderforschungsbereiche (SFB) are long-term basic research projects paid by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG).
In the CRC, scientists from several disciplines of a university or several universities work together.
CRCs enable institutions to further develop their research profile and build structures.
The universities can also cooperate with non-university research institutions.
