  • Comment: I've added new references / replaced references to the DFG's page wherever possible. The rest that is still sourced from them is either marked as their opinion or a quote from them, or is a formal fact about the program like the duration or the application format. I do think that this is best taken from the program's page itself and not another source as the most recent information should always be there. Perhaps Theroadislong could elaborate on why those sources are not reliable, even though they are Springer published books on academic career and perhaps also enlighten me in regards to which kind of sources he has in mind when declining articles for the reason above.

  • Comment: Relies on SPS too much. SITH (talk) 13:03, 10 April 2019 (UTC)
  • Comment: Four of the five sources are to their own website, we need independent sources. Theroadislong (talk) 21:00, 9 April 2019 (UTC)
  • Comment: Sources need to be independent we are not concerned with what they have said about themselves on their own website Theroadislong (talk) 12:14, 9 April 2019 (UTC)

The Emmy Noether Program is a program introduced by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) in 1997.[1] Its aim as stated by the DFG is to support exceptionally qualified early career scientists.[2] It was named after German mathematician Emmy Noether.[3]: 67 

Program

Through the program, the DFG wants to give participants the opportunity to lead a junior research group and to satisfy the prerequisites for appointment as a university professor.[4]: 141  Further, the DFG states that the program aims to attract foreign talent to Germany and to keep talented German scientists from emigrating.[5]: 95 

According to the DFG, potential fellows have to "demonstrate significant achievements and the ability to lead from the early stages of their career on as well as substantial international experience and visibility".[6]: 2  The application must describe a concrete research project that the potential fellow aims to conduct with their group. If successful, the duration of the fellowship is six years, in which the fellow is granted a salary as well as all funds necessary to build the group and complete the project.[6]: 2 

Emmy Noether Meetings

Since 2001, the Emmy Noether fellows meet at the so called Emmy Noether Meetings as a platform for exchange between the fellows as well as workshops and talks on science policy.[7]
