AUSTRALIA-GERMANY JOINT RESEARCH COOPERATION SCHEME

The Australia–Germany Joint Research Cooperation Scheme is an initiative of Universities Australia and the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD)—Germany’s national agency for the support of international academic cooperation.

It fosters research collaboration of the highest quality and supports exchanges of researchers from member universities to spend time at partner institutions in Germany, and for collaborating German researchers to spend time at Australian universities.

Researchers must be working on a joint research project with their German counterparts, rather than furthering their individual research in Germany. The inclusion of early career researchers (ECRs) is a significant focus of this scheme.

Click here to see the 45 projects awarded funding in 2022.

ELIGIBILITY

Before applying, please confirm your university’s participation in the scheme with your research office and read the 2023 Terms and Conditions.

Proposals must provide opportunities for exchanges between early career researchers (ECRs). Projects that do not include ECRs will not be considered.

For the purpose of this scheme ‘early career researcher’ is defined as:

  • A PhD or Research Masters student enrolled at a Universities Australia member university;
  • A researcher who has had a Research Masters or PhD awarded within five years from the date of the application; or
  • A researcher who received their award more than five years before the date of the application but who, due to career interruptions, has had less than the equivalent of five cumulative years of research experience.

All applications must be submitted with a nominated project leader. The Australian project leader must be a member of staff in a teaching and research, or research only role at a Universities Australia member university for the duration of the relevant funding period.

For further details please consult the 2023 Terms and Conditions.

HOW TO APPLY

Applications for funding under the 2023 round of the scheme (funding to commence in 2024) open on 5 April 2023 and will be accepted until 21 June 2023.

The 2023 application form can be found here.

Applicants will be informed of the outcomes of their application by their university research office in November 2023.

The guidelines used in assessing projects can be found here.

All successful applicants will be required to download and complete this project report form and submit it to their university research office as per the Terms and Conditions.
