Have you always wanted to know how an initial research idea can develop into a funded project? Are you interested in start-up funding and have you already made your first contacts with other researchers at TU Darmstadt? Then the FiF funding initiative is just right for you! And so that you know how the path from your idea to the project application can run, the FiF has once again come up with a creative film. You can find all the information you need about project applications in our new FiF film on project funding or on our FiF project funding website .

Interdisciplinarity is based on independent disciplines. On the other hand, it essentially lives from the in-between of the disciplines. Forum Interdisciplinary Research of TU Darmstadt, FiF in short, has been dedicated to this in-between sphere of disciplines since its foundation in 2008.

Digitization is associated with opportunities and risks in equal measure. They also pose new challenges for the law. The internationally respected legal scholar Wolfgang Hoffmann-Riem, sees it “in the wake of digital transformation”. In a conversation with FiF Scientific Director Andreas Großmann ahead of his FiF Lecture on May 11 , 2022, he explains how the law can respond to the risks associated with digitization and why there is no room for “digital neopositivism”.

Creativity is discussed today in all possible contexts. What exactly characterises it and how it presents itself is, however, in need of clarification – with regard to necessary structural contexts, quasi conditions of the possibility of creativity, as well as to the regard of “logic” and form of creative practices.
