Joint Research Advancement Programme
Call for Proposals
Within the framework of their strategic partnership, Nagoya University and the University of Freiburg are seeking proposals for collaborative joint research projects.
The call has been created to provide seed funding opportunities for faculty teams to develop new ideas for joint research projects integrating students and faculty from both universities and to foster connections by combining the strengths of the two universities.
Proposals are intended to support the collaboration on a joint research project between researchers in Freiburg and Nagoya around a topic of common interest. The programme’s scope includes support of research stays at the partner university, joint conferences, virtual seminars as well as activities for graduate students, doctoral candidates and early-career researchers.
This year, two separate funding lines are available:
A) Life sciences, natural sciences, and engineering
B) Humanities and social sciences
A successful proposal will (i) involve a clear collaborative effort between faculty members on both Freiburg and Nagoya sides and (ii) demonstrate a clear potential to be sustainable through external funding sources in the future.
Partners
Nagoya University, established in 1939, is a Japanese national university and major contributor to research and higher education in humanities and sciences with outreach throughout the Asian continent. Leveraging its historical ties with the numerous technological manufacturing industries of the Tokai region in central Japan, Nagoya University continuously drives innovation and development throughout all domains of society.
The University of Freiburg, founded in 1457, is a high-performing research university with a wide variety of disciplines. It is a place where tradition meets forward thinking, the fundamental meets the extraordinary, and regional roots meet internationality: connecting quality – in studies and teaching, in research, and in all other areas of its work – with responsibility for science and research, the environment, and society, and with an openness to new questions, diversity, and equal opportunities.
