European Cooperation in Science and Technology (COST) | European Union
Deadline: 20 October, 2022 at 12:00 CET Value: funding is for four years and is dependent upon proposal, please see website for further information. Cooperation in Science and Technology (COST) is a funding organisation for the creation of research networks, called COST Actions. These networks offer an open space for collaboration among scientists across Europe (and beyond, including South Africa) and thereby give impetus to research advancements and innovation. COST is bottom up, this means that researchers can create a network – based on their own research interests and ideas – by submitting a proposal to the COST Open Call. The proposal can be in any science field. COST Actions are highly interdisciplinary and open. It is possible to join ongoing Actions, which therefore keep expanding over the funding period of four years. They are multi-stakeholder, often involving the private sector, policymakers as well as civil society. In order to achieve its mission, COST has identified three strategic priorities: promoting and spreading excellence, fostering interdisciplinary research for breakthrough science and empowering and retaining young researchers and innovators. COST implements its mission by funding bottom-up, excellence-driven, open and inclusive networks for peaceful purposes in all areas of science and technology. COST brings together European researchers and innovators from different COST countries to jointly develop their own ideas and new initiatives across all science and technology fields through trans-European cooperation. COST encourages and fosters trans-, multi-and interdisciplinary approaches by integrating researchers and innovators from different fields and horizons such as universities, research centers, companies, in particular small and medium-sized enterprises, as well as other relevant actors. COST does not fund research itself, but supports networking via different tools such as meetings, short term scientific missions, training schools and dissemination activities part of COST Actions. COST invites proposals for Actions aiming at contributing to the scientific, technological, economic, cultural or societal knowledge advancement and development of Europe to close the gap between science, policy makers and society throughout Europe and beyond. Proposals should reflect the main characteristics of COST Actions, namely providing for knowledge sharing, creation and application, being open and output-oriented while aiming at strengthening the scientific and technological basis of the proposed topic(s). Proposals should also respond to the COST Excellence and Inclusiveness policy, which aims to provide collaboration opportunities to all researchers and innovators in COST countries, encourage participation among young talents and next generation leaders, in particular promoting working opportunities for early career investigators, and ensure gender balance, paving the way towards breakthrough developments and innovations. Proposals will be evaluated against criteria of S&T excellence, networking excellence, impact and implementation. COST Program website. |

DFG Scientific Networks │ DFG
|
DFG Scientific Networks │ German Research Foundation
Deadline: Open Value: up to three years, covering travel and maintenance costs for work meetings of network members and for thematically relevant guests, as well as coordination costs and publication costs The aim of the program is to promote multi-year scientific exchange and cooperation on a topic area of choice across locations. Scientific networks offer researchers at all career stages the opportunity to engage in multi-year scientific exchange and cooperation on a topic area of their choice across locations, with the aim of achieving a specific outcome. The network must aim for a specific outcome, e.g. the preparation of joint research papers, a joint publication, impetus for the further development of research methods. Scientific networks may be used: - To promote national and international networking between researchers at an early stage of their careers. Supporting early career researchers is especially important to the DFG. - To promote networking between researchers who want to work on new interdisciplinary or strategic research questions in a results-focused approach and require a flexible organisational framework in which to do so. - To promote networking between researchers who want to address topic areas of a strategic nature where the exchange of ideas at international level appear to be particularly productive. A scientific network consists of a set group of 10 to 20 people, which may also include researchers working abroad. Since the objective is to promote the development of networks across locations, within Germany as well as internationally, members must not all belong to the same research institution; no more than half of the members may be based in research systems outside Germany.

Bilateral Funding
International Research Training Group | DFG
|
International Research Training Group | Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG)
Open Call: Next deadline- ongoing, in consultation with the DFG's head office Value: No upper limit, funding for 4.5 years, with possible renewal for a total of 9 years International Research Training Groups are a special component of the Research Training Groups Programme, in which German universities cooperate with research institutions in other countries to offer structured doctoral programmes. Through their research and qualification programmes, Research Training Groups train scientists and academics at different stages of their careers. A key objective is to enable the timely completion of doctoral research training. As they focus on their respective core research topics, doctoral researchers also gain an overview of their research field that goes beyond their subject areas by working within the larger context of a Research Training Group. Interdisciplinary approaches are encouraged. An International Research Training Group is run by two small teams of professors, one in Germany and one abroad. Each team has about 5 to 10 members. The participating researchers are to have proven expertise in the Research Training Group’s main topic and in providing outstanding supervision to early career researchers. Up to 20 doctoral researchers per partner institution participate in an International Research Training Group. On the German side, about 10 to 15 of these doctoral researchers are financed by the Research Training Group. International Research Training Groups provide opportunities for joint doctoral training programmes between German universities and universities abroad. The research and study programmes are jointly developed and supervised. The qualification programme promotes collaboration among group members and the international exchange of doctoral researchers. It therefore includes local as well as jointly held courses. Longer-term, coordinated and reciprocal research visits(one or more with an overall duration of 6 to 12 months) by doctoral researchers to the respective partner institutions are a key element of the programme. International Research Training Groups must therefore also develop suitable structures that allow participants at all locations to engage in the necessary intensive exchange. The DFG has agreements with various research funding organisations abroad regarding applications and bilateral funding for IRTGs, such as those operated by the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada, the National Science Foundation of the U.S.A., and the National Research Foundation of South Africa. However, in the case of countries with which there are currently no such agreements, suitable solutions can normally be found. Programme Website. |

|
Integrated International Degree Programmes with Double Degrees | German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD)
(Please note this call is currently closed, but reopens annually in late summer) Value: please see information below The programme supports courses of study which are offered alternately at German and foreign universities and conclude with the conferral of two national degrees (either a joint degree or double degree, conferred by both partner universities). Such degree programmes promote further internationalisation of German universities and strengthen the exchange of instructors and students. Preference is given to cooperations with China and USA. The programme’s main funding goal is to promote the internationalisation measures of German universities and the academic mobility of German students. Consequently, German universities obtain funding to cover the cost of materials and personnel expenses directly related to planning and developing the double degree programme, preparing and advising students, for travel expenses incurred for the purpose of coordinating the programme with the cooperation partners (preparatory and working meetings) as well as scholarships for participating students. Each cooperation agreement with partner universities must be subject-related. To establish a double or joint degree programme of identical structure with several partners, the applicant must submit a multi-partner application, providing the names of each partner and descriptions of their specific region (no more than six partners in total). As this funding programme is based on financial shortfall financing, German universities applying for DAAD funding are also required to contribute resources of their own. Funding is available for a one-year preparation phase for the planning and development of the double degree programme. Up to 10,000 Euros is available to cover structural expenses (i.e. personnel costs and materials). During this period no scholarship funding is provided. For multi-partner applications, up to 10,000 Euros may be granted to each additional partner country (max. of five additional partners). During the funding phase, the German university can receive up to 50,000 euros/funding year, whereby a maximum of 20,000 euros can be used to pay for structural resources (personnel and materials). The funding limit can be increased to a maximum of 80,000 euros per funding year (of which a max. of 5,000 euros can be allocated to structural resources), provided the funding limit per class (at least five German students and preferably five students from a partner university) exceeds the 50,000-euro funding limit. For multi-partner applications, a maximum of 25,000 euros/funding year is granted to each additional partner country (max. of five additional partners), of which 5,000 euros can be used to cover costs of structural resources (personnel and materials). Funding is initially awarded for a period of two years. This can be extended by two years, followed by an additional four years, after which subsequent funding of up to four years may be applied for.

International Study and Training Partnerships | German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD)
(Please note this call is currently closed, but reopens annually in summer) Value: Dependent on the country of the partner institute This programme is targeted at German universities which intend to establish or continue international academic and training partnerships between individual departments/faculties and foreign universities. On the basis of cooperative university agreements, the programme funds groups of highly qualified German and international students who wish to complete part of their degree programme at the partner university and receive full recognition of their academic achievement abroad. Credit-transfer agreements and joint development of curricula should create a solid foundation for long-term mutual exchange. The ISAP programme does not fund partnerships with universities in EU countries (as other EU mobility programmes work to achieve similar goals) or dual-degree projects (which are exclusively funded through the DAAD programme “Integrated International Dual Degree Programmes”). As a rule, this programme provides students scholarships to complete a one or two-semester foreign study visit as part of the university cooperative agreement. Funding for personnel and domestic resources (language courses) are restricted to a maximum of 3,000 euros in total per academic year. Research projects and dissertations are not eligible for funding through ISAP. Programme Website. |

Gastdozentenprogramm | German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD)
(Please note this call is currently closed, but reopens annually) Value: dependent on salary and length of stay- please see below The Foreign Guest Lecturer Program ("Förderung ausländischer Gastdozenten zu Lehrtätigkeiten an deutschen Hochschulen") serves to enhance the internationalization of the German higher education institutes and improve the international dimension of teaching. The two models of this program differentiate between an agreement with an individual guest lecturer or with a Visiting Chair which contributes guest lectures on a consecutive basis. The cooperation should result in the internationalization of courses and, in the case of a Visiting Chair, more structural measures for sustainable internationalization, which could be embedded in the development of a study program. The teaching commitment should approach but is not required to be the equivalent of a standard lecturer position at a German university. A financial contribution by the higher education institution to the salary of the guest lecturer is preconditioned. Additional financial support will be considered positively during the selection process. The remaining will be funded by DAAD. In addition, mobility support and funding towards conference participation is available.
