The aim of the initiative is for participating researchers to identify joint research interests in the area of the water nexus research and initiate new collaborative ventures.
The initiative comprises two parts:
- The opportunity to submit DFG proposals to support the initiation of international collaborations:
The Call for the Initiation of International Collaboration serves to establish and facilitate bilateral or multilateral collaborative relationships between researchers from Jordan and Germany. For this purpose, three different modules are available: trips abroad (max. three months), guest visits in Germany (max. three months), exploratory workshops.
The funding remains available for a maximum of 12 months after the approval date, and the individual collaborative measures must be carried out within this time frame. - A Status Workshop in Bonn/Germany to convene all researchers funded under this call.
Qualified researchers from Jordan and Germany are invited to take part in the initiative (as a rule they should hold a doctorate and have a track record in their respective research field). Applicants from German research institutions are required to fulfil the DFG eligibility requirements. All proposals must include at least one applicant from Germany and one cooperation partner from Jordan.
Proposals must be submitted by 31 May 2023. They can only be submitted by researchers from Germany. Scientists from Jordan act as cooperation partners and can receive DFG funding through their German cooperation partners.
