The Bayerisches Geoinstitut is funded by the European Union as a “ Large-Scale Scientific Facility“ under the "TMR Programme". Visiting scientists from EU countries who wish to use the experimental (especially high pressure) facilities of the Institute are funded through this programme. Projects and visiting scientists funded during 1998 are as follows (titles of research projects in italics):
