Coordination Funds

优先方案的目的是利用基因决定的生物矿化过程的原理来产生无机多功能材料。该方案应为材料科学、生物、化学和物理等不同领域的研究人员提供跨学科合作的机会。计划进行全面的研究，从产生到结构特征，再到材料的性质，并结合建模方法。由于优先方案具有高度跨学科的特点，必须特别注意对年轻研究人员的支持和融入。为了实现上述目标，将考虑以下活动：·组织两年一次的暑期学校·组织专题研讨会·为青年科学家提供启动资金·通过互访培训青年科学家·采取性别平等措施·促进与国际合作伙伴建立联系·两年一度的审查座谈会·创建、维护和更新互联网站

The aim of the priority programme is to utilise the principles of genetically determined biomineralisation processes for the generation of inorganic multifunctional materials. The programme shall offer opportunities for the interdisciplinary cooperation of researchers from a variety of fields including materials science, biology, chemistry and physics. Comprehensive studies ranging from the generation via the structural characterisation up to the properties of the materials in combination with modelling approaches are planned. Owing to the highly interdisciplinary character of the priority programme special attention has to be paid to the support and the integration of young researchers. Based on their initially disciplinary education young academics will be specifically trained for conducting research on molecular bionics.To reach the above mentioned goals the following activities are taken into account:• Organization of biennial Summer Schools• Organization of topical symposia• Start-up funding for young scientists• Training of young scientists by exchange visits• Measures for gender equality• Promotion of networking with international partners• Biennial review colloquia• Creation, maintenance and updating of an internet website
