Description

Ladenburg Horizons is the Daimler and Benz Foundation’s funding program for research alliances between German and African institutions. Responding to African countries’ growing scientific and political significance and scientific potential, it supports joint research through both established partnerships and new institutional contacts. Projects must address a clearly defined central research question, rather than primarily establish infrastructure, training arrangements, or capacity-building programs.

The program connects research institutions in Germany with scientific establishments in eastern, western, or sub-Saharan Africa, subject to country exclusions. Cooperation beyond the funded project is desirable and should be addressed in the application. Proposals involving more than one African partner must justify the added value of that arrangement in light of the limited budget.
