Research Stays in Germany for University Academics and Scientists

The aim of this particular program is to support short-term research stays and thus promote the exchange of experience and networking amongst colleagues.

University teachers and established academics and scientists who have usually completed a doctoral degree and work at a university or research institute in their home country can apply.

The following activities can be funded:

  • Research stays at the state or state-recognized institutions of higher education or non-university research institutes in Germany. A research stay can also take place at several host institutions.
  • Funding may only be claimed once within three years.
  • Lecture tours or visits to congresses are not funded.

Stays are for one to three months; the length of the grant is decided by a selection committee and depends on the project in question and the applicant’s work schedule. The grant is non-renewable.
