The German Research Foundation (DFG) supports cooperation with foreign partners in its funding process with a variety of instruments.

Cooperation projects with foreign partners will in general be supported considering the principle of mutual responsibility: scientists working in Germany need to contact the DFG, their overseas partners, on the other hand, respective funding institutions in their own country. This is particularly applicable to institutions with which the DFG has negotiated an agreement for the joint promotion of scientific cooperation. More
