The Joint Korean-German Research Projects 2026, funded by the German Research Foundation, supports collaborative, knowledge-driven engineering research between Korean and German teams.
Funder: German Research Foundation
Due Dates (Anticipated): March 2027: Registration deadline (projected) | March 2027: Full proposal deadline (projected)
Funding Amounts: 20 projects funded; up to 150 million KRW (€100,000) per project per year for 3 years; matched by DFG for German teams.
Summary: Supports collaborative engineering research between Korean and German teams, emphasizing joint planning and balanced contributions.
Key Information: Each project requires a Korean and a German PI; both must apply to their respective funders under national rules.
This funding opportunity, jointly offered by the German Research Foundation (DFG) and the National Research Foundation of Korea (NRF), supports collaborative research projects in the engineering sciences. The program is designed to foster close, integrated partnerships between leading research teams in Germany and Korea, advancing knowledge-driven engineering research through coordinated work plans and balanced contributions from both sides. Projects are selected via a rigorous peer review and a joint Korean-German panel, with funding provided for up to three years.
