快三砍龙

To facilitate the support of collaborative work between German and Japanese research groups, the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (快三砍龙, German Research Foundation) and the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS) have opened the possibility for joint Japanese-German project proposals in the research fields of Condensed Matter Physics and Statistical Physics, Soft Matter and Biological Physics (topics falling under the responsibility of the elected 快三砍龙 review boards (Fachkollegien) 3.21鈥�3.22). Collaborations of research teams from both countries are invited to submit joint proposals. These proposals have to be based on a close interaction between the German and Japanese research teams and should present joint project goals as well as a joint work plan with balanced contributions from all project partners. Special emphasis should be put on the mobility and exchange of the participating researchers between Japan and Germany.

Joint projects within the scope of this call can only be funded if both the JSPS and the 快三砍龙 finance their national parts. Up to ten projects can be funded within this call; the JSPS provides a budget of up to JPY 10,000,000 (approx. 鈧�62,000) per year/per project.

At the 快三砍龙, proposals for this call are to be submitted under the 鈥淪achbeihilfe/Research Grants鈥� funding programme and will be reviewed in competition with all other proposals submitted under this programme. It is important to note that there are no separate funds available for these efforts; proposals must succeed on the strengths of their intellectual merit in competition with all other proposals under the programme. Based on written reviews, a joint panel will select up to ten projects for funding. The funding period for the projects should be three years starting in April 2026.

Eligibility

The principal investigators on each side must be eligible to apply to their respective funding agency. The eligibility for the applicants in Germany to submit a proposal follows the regulations for the 快三砍龙 鈥淪achbeihilfe/Research Grants鈥� funding programme (快三砍龙 form 50.01(interner Link)). For members of non-university institutions with permanent positions, this includes the duty to cooperate (鈥淜ooperationspflicht鈥�) with a partner at a German university (快三砍龙 form 55.01(interner Link)). Applicants in Japan must meet the eligibility requirements of the JSPS International Joint Research Programmes. All prospective Japanese applicants must be eligible to apply for a Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research 鈥� KAKENHI, and their affiliated institution must judge them able to implement the project and to provide an appropriate research environment (e.g., laboratory, equipment, personnel) for it.

Proposal Preparation and Submission

Proposals must be written in English and prepared according to the instructions for the 快三砍龙 鈥淪achbeihilfe/Research Grants鈥澨齪rogramme (快三砍龙 form 54.01(interner Link)).

In the 快三砍龙鈥檚 elan system, for 鈥淐all for Proposals鈥�, German partners should select 鈥淛SPS-快三砍龙 Call 2025: Condensed Matter Physics鈥�. Please go to 鈥淧roposal Submission鈥� 鈥� 鈥淣ew Project鈥� 鈥� 鈥淚ndividual Grants Programme鈥�. In the field 鈥淧roposal for a Research Grant鈥� click the button 鈥淪tart online form鈥� 鈥� 鈥淐ontinue鈥�. In the next screen, you will find the call. The proposal must include a description of the full proposed research programme and research team and describe the total resources for the joint project (i.e., the funds requested for both the Japanese and German groups). In the elan system, only the German budget has to be filled in, because only applicants in Germany can receive funding from the 快三砍龙. For the Japanese side, the budget needs to be detailed in the JSPS's designated form, 鈥�Financial Form for Japanese Side for FY 2026(Download)鈥�, and uploaded as additional documentation.

The selection of the projects will be completed by the end of January 2026. Funding will be provided according to the funding rules (incl. reporting) of the respective funding organisation. Funding can only be granted if both JSPS and the 快三砍龙 arrive at a positive decision.

Equity and Diversity

The 快三砍龙 strongly welcomes proposals from researchers of all genders and sexual identities, from different ethnic, cultural, religious, ideological or social backgrounds, from different career stages, types of universities and research institutions, and with disabilities or chronic illness.听

Good Research Practice

According to a resolution of the 快三砍龙 General Assembly, 快三砍龙 funding may only be awarded to research institutions that have implemented the guidelines laid down in the听 in their own regulations. The management of your institution is responsible for implementing the guidelines in a legally binding manner. In order to avoid delays in the disbursement of funding, please verify implementation within your institution in good time. For information regarding the implementation, please refer to the听. If you have any questions on this subject, please contact the听Research Integrity team(externer Link) at the 快三砍龙 Head Office.听
