DFGout

DFGout is a term that has emerged in discussions surrounding the German Research Foundation (Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft - DFG). It is not an official designation or a recognized academic concept, but rather a colloquial or informal expression. The term appears to be used by individuals or groups to refer to a perceived withdrawal or a decline in the DFG's perceived influence, support, or effectiveness in certain areas of German research.

The specific reasons or contexts for the use of "DFGout" are varied and often depend on the individual's perspective. Some discussions might relate to changes in DFG funding priorities, shifts in research trends that the DFG may not be fully addressing, or perceived bureaucratic inefficiencies within the organization. Others might express dissatisfaction with the outcomes of specific DFG funding calls or review processes. It is important to note that "DFGout" does not represent a formal critique or an official statement from any academic body. It is a descriptor used within informal academic discourse to articulate a particular sentiment. Any analysis of its meaning requires an understanding of the specific context in which it is used.
