A group of researchers led by Julia Fischer and Stefan Treue of the German Primate Center and Göttingen University have received project funds from Lower Saxony’s Ministry of Science and Culture and the Volkswagen Foundation of about one million Euro. The funding will support research on the cognitive abilities of non-human and human primates. The money is also part of a plan to prepare the science community of Göttingen for the upcoming competition „Bund-Länder-Initiative“, which succeeds the Excellence Initiative.
