15.08.2025 Courage to experiment - Four Marburg research projects receive LOEWE funding

With the LOEWE-Exploration funding line, the Hessian Ministry of Science and the Arts (HMWK) supports high-risk, innovative research projects that stand at the threshold of the unconventional. Researchers are given the opportunity to pursue bold hypotheses and radically new scientific approaches over two years with funding between 200,000 and 300,000 euros – in a scientific and political environment where precisely this kind of freedom is increasingly under pressure. With this funding line, the state of Hesse is closing a gap in the German research system and sending a clear signal in support of trust-based, curiosity-driven research.
