HZDR Innovation Fund
The internal HZDR Innovation Fund - financed by the Federal Ministry of Research, Technology and Space (BMFTR) and the HZDR's own funds - aims to support validation and spin-off projects through co-financing. The funding amounts to 400,000 euros per year.
HZDR Innovation Fund+ PLUS
The HZDR Innovation Fund+PLUS is intended to ensure that all transfer ideas of the Center that are considered to have potential are transferred to a state in which direct exploitation or follow-up financing of further development is possible. The current transfer potential of the HZDR is to be better utilized and expanded in the long term. The Innovation Fund+ exclusively finances validation projects and is part of the ERDF validation funding provided by the Saxon State Ministry of Economic Affairs, Labor and Transport for the funding period 2021 to 2027.
HZDR Translation Fund
Promotion of translational projects between the University Hospital Carl Gustav Carus Dresden, the Medical Faculty of the TU Dresden and the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf. The funding is intended to strengthen cooperation between the institutions in the field of life sciences.
