In 2024, the IZKF Executive Board decided to reactivate the “IZKF Research Groups” funding format in order to attract excellent young researchers with innovative research ideas and to integrate them into the faculty's research networks. The funding format is designed to be equivalent to the DFG's Emmy Noether Program and provides a maximum of €250,000 per year per group. As early as the beginning of the 2000s, there were internationalization efforts at the Faculty of Medicine, which were supported by recruiting external applicants with new research topics for the IZKF.
