The Memorandum of Understanding between the German Research Foundation (DFG) and the Universidad de Antioquia (UdeA) has been renewed in February 2024 and the opportunities for bilateral research projects under the Standing Open Procedure (SOP) continue to be available for researchers from Germany and the UdeA. Submission of research proposals is possible at any time under the DFG’s Research Grants Programme as well as the corresponding CODI programme at the UdeA. Researchers may apply for a funding period of up to three years in any field of research.
UdeA applicants are kindly requested to adhere to all the requirements listed on the UdeA’s website and to submit their proposals to the UdeA’s Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research.The review process is carried out separately on each side. Funding of the joint research projects is contingent upon positive assessment by both funding organisations. Joint Colombian-German projects will be co-funded by the UdeA; unilateral funding of only one part of a project is not possible.
The DFG strongly welcomes proposals from researchers of all genders and sexual identities, from different ethnic, cultural, religious, ideological or social backgrounds, from different career stages, types of universities and research institutions, and with disabilities or chronic illness.
