The German Research Foundation invites applications for its integrated terahertz systems enabling novel functionality priority programme. This supports research in the field of terahertz (THz) science and technology. Project ideas are welcomed under the following technical areas: •area 1 - novel physical phenomena, technologies, and devices enabling integrated terahertz systems with few examples such as heterointegration and integration of novel materials or material systems cand novel scalable integrated THz arrays; •area 2 - novel multi-functional integrated systems with few examples such as novel THz system partitions and integrated radio transceivers, integrated broadband laser-induced THz generation in silicon technologies or complete electronic and photonic integration of THz measurement systems on a chip level; •area 3 - novel terahertz science and applications based on integrated terahertz systems with few examples such as biomedical and space applications and communications; Collaborations between researchers in Germany and the United Kingdom are encouraged. UK researchers who hold flexible Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council grants may re-direct work and funds towards collaborations with projects funded through this call. Funding may last for up to three years. A second three year round of funding for successful projects may follow. Alongside project funding, annual joint meetings, summer and winter schools for German and British scientists will also be supported. Ref: SPP 2314.
