International Cooperation

Funding in all DFG programmes

International research collaborations may be funded either as part of individual projects or in the context of coordinated programmes (Collaborative Research Centres, Research Training Groups, Research Units, Priority Programmes, etc.).

Individual Projects and Coordinated Programmes

Scientists and researchers in Germany can apply for funding for research projects carried out in cooperation with colleagues (cooperation partners) from abroad, either as part of the Individual Grants Programme or in connection with Coordinated Programmes. This funding is partly covered by agreements that the DFG has entered into with its more than 50 partner organisations in Europe and worldwide.

• The DFG in International Scientific and Academic Organisations

Preparatory Measures

In addition to providing general research funding, the International Affairs Division also provides funding for preparatory measures that facilitate personal contact.
