The Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG, German Research Foundation) is the central self-governing research funding organisation in Germany. The DFG serves the sciences and humanities and promotes research of the highest quality in all its forms and disciplines at universities and non-university research institutions. The focus is on funding projects developed by the academic community itself in the area of knowledge-driven research.

The ‘DFG videos’ published on the TIB AV-Portal include scientific presentations, discussions and talks, as well as speeches, portraits, insights into DFG-funded research and other films on research funding.
