Research in an international network

International Consortial Projects

Would you like to do research together with researchers from abroad? Research projects in an international network can be supported by various funding agencies.

Funding agencies in comparison

Application- and innovation-oriented international collaborative research can be funded by ministries and the EU as well as by joint calls for proposals by various funding agencies. The calls for proposals have fixed submission deadlines and are topic-bound – whereby the call topics of the various funding agencies are complementary. As a rule, at least three, often significantly more, participants are involved in the projects. The participation of international as well as non-academic members is usually necessary. Details you can find in the specific call texts.

In contrast, the DFG usually funds research projects with international participation on open topics. A good overview of international calls for proposals you can find on the page Kooperation international.
