Researching Together: Collaborative Projects

The German Research Foundation funds research collaborations on a local, national and international level, through its programs for research units, Collaborative Research Centers, and Graduate Schools.

Please contact Mr. Gebhard at an early stage if you have any questions on collaborative projects funded by the DFG.

Horizon 2020, the EU’s research and innovation program, also funds international collaborations between academic, industrial and social organizations.
