Applicant

Leaders of research groups from two institutions in Europe, one of which must be from Germany (university, university of applied sciences, Max-Planck-Institute, Helmholtz Institute, or similar), involved in a cooperation project.

Funding

Funding is provided for one visit of the group leaders and up to three additional representatives from one institution to visit the cooperation partner within 12 months. The other participants should ideally be younger members of the applicant’s group (PhD students, postdocs).

 

In addition to personal discussions, a mini-symposium should be organized at each institution on site, open to students and members of other research groups.

 

The mobility funding covers up to our participants per institution, i.e., the applicant plus up to three staff members (PhD students, postdocs).

If approved, the mobility support must be used within 12 months, with at least a 4-month gap between the visits. A final report must be submitted two months after the mobility support ends, which should include:
