IRASA Workshop
Initiation of International Scientific Cooperation between Iran and Germany

Location: Freie Universität Berlin,  Center of International Cooperation
Seminar Room KL32/123 (Silberlaube Habelschwerdter Allee 45, 14195 Berlin)

Background

In cooperation with DFG and the Freie Universität Berlin, IRASA offers a practical workshop on fostering international research cooperation within the funding scope of DFG, using the example of German-Iranian collaborations.
The major task of Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (German Research Foundation, DFG) is to support excellent research in Germany, mainly at German universities and, under certain conditions, publically funded extra-university research institutes. Excellent research often needs active partnership with researchers abroad and, therefore, all DFG funding instruments are open for international cooperation. Generally, DFG supports the part of a cooperation which is carried out in Germany, including mobility costs. In exceptional cases, DFG can also cover some of the research done abroad. Apart from very few special instruments, DFG does not earmark funds for international cooperation – all international project proposals have to compete within the entire pool of proposals at a given time. Using the example of Iranian-German cooperation, DFG will explain its portfolio with regard to international cooperation and offers, during the afternoon session, individual advice (please state your interest for a short individual advice session in advance!).
