Description
This program from the German Research Foundation (DFG) is designed to help researchers based in Germany establish new international scientific collaborations. Funding is available for exploratory workshops, project-related trips abroad, and hosting guest researchers in Germany. The aim is to facilitate the early stages of cooperation, such as networking, planning, and developing joint research proposals, rather than supporting full-scale research projects or conferences.
