In light of the Covid-19 pandemic, the 2020 round of applications will progress as planned however a smaller number of proposals will be funded compared to previous rounds. 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:
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:
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:
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.
