Objective: W¨¹bben Stif?tung Wis?sen?schaft sand?pits invite re?se?ar?chers to work outside their comfort zone in un?con?ven?tio?nal con?stel?la?ti?ons in order to give shape to an over?ar?ching topic and develop fresh ap?proa?ches and re?se?arch ques?ti?ons that promise to deliver in?no?va?ti?ve in?sights. The program wel?co?mes re?se?arch topics that are not covered by the main?stream of exis?ting funding op?por?tu?nities and thus promise to break new ground. The format re?qui?res all par?ti?ci?pants to be out?stan?ding, in?tel?lec?tual?ly open-minded team players so as to create a setting in which es?tab?lished tra?di?ti?ons of thought and di?sci?pli?na?ry bounda?ries can be called into ques?ti?on. Par?ti?ci?pants should not have col?la?bo?ra?ted or pu?blished tog?e?ther pre?vious?ly. The goal of the program is to ge?ne?ra?te un?or?tho?dox ideas for pro?jec?ts that set out to tackle highly re?le?vant chal?len?ges in today¡¯s society.

Funding:?W¨¹bben Stif?tung Wis?sen?schaft is making avail?ab?le €50,000 for a three-day sandpit event plus an ensuing work?shop to do?cu?ment the results. The sandpit will be or?ga?ni?zed by the re?se?ar?chers who have been awarded funding for the event. Funding can be used fle?xi?b?ly to cover costs for travel, ac?com?mo?da?ti?on, ca?te?ring, the event lo?ca?ti?on, and other ex?pen?ses. The do?cu?men?ted results will be pu?blished by W¨¹bben Stif?tung Wis?sen?schaft.?
