In March 2025, the Senate of the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG, German Research Foundation) established the Priority Programme “Holistic Design of Molecular Communication Systems (HoD-MoCS)” (SPP 2526). The programme is designed to run for six years in two phases and is led by Prof. Robert Schober. The present call invites proposals for the first three-year funding period.
