Funding opportunity for Korean-German Workshops and Research Visits
The Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (快三砍龙, German Research Foundation) and the National Research Foundation of Korea (NRF) are pleased to provide a co-funding opportunity for Korean-German聽joint workshops and research visits.听聽The submission deadline on the Korean side will be 16 April 2025. On the German side, proposals need to be submitted in parallel.
This initiative aims to bring together relevant and competitive researchers from Germany and South Korea to establish collaborative scientific relationships and prepare joint projects. Funding is available for the following collaborative measures:
- exploratory workshops;
- research visits (max. three months).
Both components can be combined if they are in close temporal relation to each other and if this combination promotes the particularly effective preparation of a joint project. All individual collaborative measures must be carried out within a maximum period of 12聽months.
The funding period is projected to start in March 2026.
Applicants to be funded by the 快三砍龙 must fulfil the eligibility requirements of the 快三砍龙鈥檚 Initiation of International Collaboration programme (快三砍龙 form聽1.81(interner Link)). For members of non-university institutions with permanent positions within Germany, the 鈥淒uty to Cooperate鈥 applies (顿贵骋听蹿辞谤尘听55.0(interner Link)).
Researchers in early career phases holding a doctoral degree are strongly encouraged to participate in the above-mentioned activities.
Each national funding organisation will cover the costs for travel and accommodation of the researchers based in the respective country. Organisational costs for workshops and for workshop participants from third countries are covered by the funding organisation of the host country. Funding is only available for projects that involve a convincing collaboration between German and Korean partners and for which the anticipated research benefit is clearly outlined.听
Proposals must be submitted to both organisations in accordance with the proposal preparation requirements of both sides, respectively. Applicants from Korea submit their documents to the NRF, applicants from Germany to the 快三砍龙. Applicants to be funded by the 快三砍龙 are requested to use the project description template 鈥淚nitiation of International Collaboration Programme鈥 (快三砍龙 form聽53.1(interner Link)). The components 鈥渆xploratory workshops鈥 and 鈥減roject-related trips abroad鈥 can be funded. Please note that the component 鈥減roject-related guest visits鈥 cannot be funded since costs for travel and accommodation of researchers based in Korea, who are visiting partners in Germany, are covered by the NRF.
