Funding Opportunities for International Collaborations at the German Research Foundation — •Joanna Kowalska, Mario Bomers, Christian Hahn, and Michael Mößle — Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft e.V., Bonn; Germany

The German Research Foundation (Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft, DFG) is Germany's largest organisation for funding fundamental research. As a self-governing body that supports and promotes research, it offers a wide range of funding opportunities, from individual grants to large coordinated programmes. This talk will focus on the DFG's opportunities for supporting international collaborations. It will cover the ways in which international research partners can be included in individual grants and coordinated programmes, as well as outline dedicated funding opportunities for bi- and multilateral projects. It will also introduce the Walter Benjamin Programme, which supports researchers in their early career phase in gaining experience at a research institution, either abroad or in Germany.
