About
The DAAD-University of Cambridge Research Hub for German Studies works closely together with the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG - German Research Foundation).
The DFG is the central self-governing research funding organisation in Germany. The DFG serves the sciences and humanities and promotes research of the highest quality in all its forms and disciplines at universities and non-university research institutions. The focus is on funding projects developed by the academic community itself in the area of knowledge-driven research. DFG takes particular care to promote international cooperation, early career researchers, gender equality and diversity in science and the humanities and supports international cooperation in all its funding programmes.
On 12 May, DFG colleagues will hold an information session to give a short overview about funding opportunities for international collaboration within the DFG funding portfolio, concluding with a Q&A session on UK-German research cooperation. We are also delighted to welcome Andreas Hoeschen, Director of the DAAD London Office, who will outline DAAD funding opportunities beyond the Cambridge DAAD Hub.
The event will take place at 15:30 on 12 May in the General Board Room at the Old Schools (please go to the reception at the Old Schools).
Please register for the event via Eventbrite and please note there are only 21 spaces available. Please also send this on to anyone you think might have an interest in attending the event.
