Non-Program-Bound Research

This department assembles cross-cutting topics that do not fall within the existing research departments. These include future related research projects that are within the scope of PRIF’s objectives but fall outside of its current research program.

These projects address innovative, high-risk research areas as well as the further development of research methods. This allows PRIF to remain flexible in reacting to new demands and developing new research perspectives in terms of its fundamental and practical orientations.
