Funder: Universities Australia
Funding Opportunity: Universities Australia & German Academic Exchange Service - Australia-Germany Joint Research Cooperation Scheme
Brief details:
The Australia-Germany Joint Research Co-operation Scheme is a joint initiative of Universities Australia and the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) – Germany's national agency for the support of international academic co-operation.
It fosters research collaboration of the highest quality and supports exchanges for researchers from Universities Australia member universities to spend time at partner institutions in Germany, and for collaborating German researchers to spend time at Australian universities.
The inclusion of early career researchers (ECRs) is a significant focus of this scheme. Projects that do not involve a ECR will not be considered for funding.
Funding available:
Australian funding will cover the costs of:
- Return economy airfares from Australia to Germany;
- A per diem of either AUD 250 per day or a maximum of AUD 3,500 per month per person for each day spent at the host German institution, or at other locations in Germany necessary for the research in question.
- Maximum funding per year per project is AUD 12,500.
The DAAD in Germany will fund the costs of the German applicant.
Eligibility:
Researchers must be working on a joint research project with their German counterparts, rather than furthering their individual research in Germany.
The scheme is open to eligible researchers at participating Australian universities in all academic fields involved in a collaborative project with German research partners.
Australian applicants must be:
- employed as an academic staff member with a contract that is valid for the duration of the relevant funding period in a teaching and research, or research only, role at the Australian university administering the application; or
- enrolled for the duration of the relevant funding period as a PhD or Research Masters student at the Australian university administering the application and part of a research project application submitted by an eligible staff member at that same university.
Proposals must provide opportunities for exchanges between early career researchers (ECRs). It is encouraged but not compulsory to be an ECR to apply.
For the purpose of this scheme ‘early career researcher’ means:
- a PhD student enrolled at a participating Australian university;
- a researcher who has had a Research Masters or PhD awarded within five years of the date of application; or
- a researcher who received their award more than five years before the date of application but who, due to career interruptions, has had less than the equivalent of five cumulative years of research experience.
Application process:
Your German collaborators must submit their applications to DAAD and receive an application ID number - this needs to be included with the Australian application so that they can be matched. Without the ID number, the application cannot be submitted.
Monash University will be carrying out its own pre-selection process before the final selection which occurs at the DAAD in Germany in October. Applicants will need to complete the application form, and submit this to the MRO via a Pure record sent through for pre-approval by 5pm Monday 15 June.
The MRO will arrange for a selection panel to rank proposals.
Your proposal will then be assessed and ranked, and the MRO will forward these rankings to University Australia by 5pm Friday 24 July.
