Das Mannheimer Barockschloss und der Ehrenhof unter blauem Himmel.

Ontario/Baden-Württemberg Faculty Mobility Programm 2026

The program supports short-term research stays of scientists from universities in Baden-Württemberg to conduct research stays at a partner university in the partner province of Ontario.

Objective:
The program line aims to strengthen scientific and and academic exchange between universities in Baden-Württemberg and Ontario, Canada. It thus represents another pillar of the partnership alongside student exchange. Joint research projects can also intensify cooperation in the long term and build a growing network. With the help of deeper networking among researchers and teachers, the program's visibility should be increased, thereby attracting students and researchers to participate in exchanges in the future.

  • (Junior-) Professors, research group leaders, Postdocs, or completed doctorate
  • Employed at a Baden-Württemberg university until the end of the planned stay
