We are very happy!
After three successful funding phases (2016ff), the DFG has fully approved our renewal proposal. This means that the FID Political Science will be funded for a further three years with a total of EUR 1.9 million.
Priorities of the fourth funding phase (2025-2028):
- Expansion of the Pollux research portal, which currently contains about 13 million documents, to include research data, grey literature, abstracts and citations
- Further development of the ‘PoliCorp’ analysis tool for structured political text data (text corpora)
- Expansion of open science activities, in particular open access
- Strengthening research data management for qualitative political science data
- Optimisation of internal work processes and quality assurance
- Increased public relations work to raise the visibility of the service in the community
