In the current pilot call, Spanish-German research teams are invited to submit joint research proposals in the fields of:
- Psychology (DFG Review Board 110, AEI Area 8. PSI)
- Mathematics (DFG Review Board 312, AEI Area 9. MTM)
- Atmospheric Science, Oceanography and Climate Research (DFG Review Board 313, AEI subareas CYA and MAR of the Area 16, CTM)
Applicants should ensure that their project falls within one of these fields, i.e. is covered by both the above-mentioned DFG review boards (“Fachkollegien”) and the AEI areas and subareas.
Each research project must be jointly conducted by a team of Spanish and German applicants. The principal investigators on each side must be eligible to apply to their respective funding agency. A maximum of two Spanish partners/principal investigators are allowed to apply for funding from the AEI in the same proposal. The duration of the projects must not exceed 36 months.
This bilateral call will be managed via a Lead Agency Procedure. The DFG will act as the lead agency in this call, i.e. proposals have to be prepared in DFG format according to the DFG guidelines and the DFG will be in charge of organising the review and evaluation of the proposals.
Proposals must be submitted by 25 October 2023 to the DFG by the German principal investigator. Please note that if applicants are using the elan system for the first time, they will need to register in the elan portal prior to submitting their proposal by 18 October 2023. The Spanish partner is required to submit a copy of the proposal to the AEI within 7 days after submission of the proposal to the DFG (until 2 November 2023).
