Deadline: 29 May 2026
News from Apr 24, 2026
What is funded?
Short-term university dialogue initiatives include exploratory trips/fact-finding missions, exchange programs, workshops, summer/winter schools, and conferences.

Who is eligible for funding?
Students (Bachelor’s/Master’s), doctoral candidates, and researchers with a doctorate (e.g., postdoctoral researchers, experienced researchers, professors, or researchers in comparable positions), university management staff; additionally, non-university actors with particular relevance to the project.
Who can submit an application?
State and state-recognized German universities are eligible to apply.
