Korean-German Funding Programme for Joint Workshops and Research Visits
Deadline: 17. April 2024
The Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG, German Research Foundation) and the National Research Foundation of Korea (NRF) are pleased to announce a call for proposals for Korean-German joint workshops and research visits. Proposals must be submitted not later than 17 April 2024.
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 and if this promotes the particularly effective preparation of a joint project. All individual collaborative measures must be carried out within a maximum period of 12 months.
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.
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 DFG. Applicants to be funded by the DFG are requested to fulfil the eligibility requirements of the DFG Initiation of International Collaboration programme and use the corresponding proposal form “Guidelines Initiation of International Collaboration Programme” (DFG form 1.813; see link below). The components “exploratory workshops” and “project-related trips abroad” can be funded. Please note that the component “project-related guest visits“ 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.
