The German Research Foundation (DFG) is the central funding organization for basic research in Germany. As a self-governing organization for science and research it offers a broad spectrum of funding opportunities from individual grants to larger coordinated programs. Thereby, DFG funding shall enable interdisciplinary and international cooperation between researchers. The DFG supports international research cooperation in all of its funding programmes and with a multitude of instruments.

In particular, international programmes will be discussed in detail, e.g. the postdoctoral research fellowship for a stay abroad, the initiation of international collaboration, and most importantly, bilateral projects.
