Research Stays for Go8 Researchers - Group of Eight Australia – Germany Joint Research Co-operation Scheme
The scheme aims to foster research collaborations between Australian researchers from Go8 universities and German researchers by supporting exchanges between Australian and German researchers.
Total Funding:
The Go8 and the DAAD have each agreed to provide approximately 160,000 euros (AUD 250,000) per year for the period 2008-2010 (approximately AUD 1.5 million) to support the scheme.
Requirements:
• - Applicants must be Australian citizens or Australian permanent residents
- Applicants must be employed as academic staff members in a teaching and research or research only role or a PhD student involved in the research project submitted by an eligible staff member at a Go8 university (ANU, University of Adelaide, University of Melbourne, Monash University, UNSW, University of Queensland, University of Sydney, University of Western Australia)
- Well-defined research proposals necessitating research collaboration between Australian and German researchers
- Preference for projects that facilitate exchanges between early career researchers
- The DAAD particularly welcomes applications in the natural and engineering sciences
Applications for exchanges usually open in April each year.
Please note: To be successful, Australian applicants must ensure that their German collaborators submit a corresponding application with the same title to the DAAD in Germany!
