Deadline: 20 February 2019
AHRC and DFG are launched a call for proposals for outstanding joint UK-German research projects in the Humanities.
Both funding agencies are aware that some of the best research can only be achieved by working with the best researchers internationally. Accordingly, they wish to fund academic research of the highest quality within their own countries, to strengthen and deepen cooperation between their two countries in the relevant fields, and to contribute to the growth of a transnational collaborative research culture in the UK and Germany.
The scheme will provide funding for integrated UK-German projects. The partner agencies will organize a coordinated peer review and a single joint selection process. Funding will be distributed among the research partners according to the researchers’ place of work and, in general, according to the funding rules of each individual agency.
The call is open to applications addressing any research topic where there is significant potential to advance knowledge through collaborative research bringing together arts and humanities researchers in the UK and humanities (including law and linguistics) researchers in Germany.
Funding Information
- Awards will not exceed, on the UK side, £350,000 (at 100% fEC of which the AHRC will fund 80%) per project.
- The duration of the project must not exceed 36 months.
Eligibility Criteria
- Proposals must involve collaboration between UK and German researchers.
- Both single-disciplinary and cross-disciplinary applications can be considered provided that the UK component falls within the remit of the AHRC and the German component within the remit of the DFG. Applications may also overlap with other disciplines provided that they fall primarily within the remit of the AHRC and DFG.
