Scientists examines the formation of earth.
A Transregional Collaborative Research Center (CRC-TRR) run by teams at Freie Universität Berlin and the University of Münster has been approved for an additional funding period by the German Research Foundation (DFG) to continue their study of how terrestrial planets formed. On Monday, the DFG announced in Bonn that CRC-TRR 170 "Late Accretion onto Terrestrial Planets" will receive another four years of support. The new funding period starts January 1, 2020 and will last four years. The funding amounts to around nine million euros. The Collaborative Research Center's spokesperson is Professor Thorsten Kleine from the University of Münster's Institut für Planetologie. During the previous funding period, Professor Harry Becker from Freie Universität Berlin was the spokesperson. Transregional Collaborative Research Centers involve two or three universities that have submitted a joint proposal and then run their center together.
