The IVAC program is financed by funds from the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF).
The application deadline is May 25, 2021.

German... S'mores?!
Summer is right around the corner! Most North Americans are familiar with the seasonal classic, s'mores. A roasted Jiffy Puff marshmallow wedged between two graham crackers, topped with an oozing piece of Hershey's chocolate. It's as quintessentially summer to Americans and Canadians as a grilled Wurst might be to a German. So how does one German-ify the classic? With Haribo and Milka, of course!
