Programme Planning and Controlling
General information
The introduction of programme-oriented funding at the Helmholtz Association lead to an extensive transfer of planning and controlling responsibilities to the Helmholtz centres.
The entire process of programme-oriented funding is supported by science-oriented controlling procedures. The controlling processes extend from the programme planning phase and analysis of a project’s progress to reporting on the development of Helmholtz research programmes.
