UNAM-DFG 2024/25: Third joint call for German-Mexican research projects
Deadline: 24.02.2025
The Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG, German Research Foundation) and the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM) announce the third call for proposals to fund joint German-Mexican research projects in all fields of research (including social sciences and the humanities). This initiative aims to bring together relevant and competitive researchers from Germany and from UNAM to design and carry out jointly organised research projects of outstanding scientific quality.
Proposals for joint German-Mexican projects have to be submitted in parallel by the researchers in Germany and at UNAM to their respective funding organisation according to the organisations’ respective format and regulations.
Key information for eligible researchers:
- Deadline for submission of proposals at UNAM and the DFG: 24 February 2025.
- Researchers may apply for a funding period of up to three years.
- The DFG and UNAM use their standard programmes for proposals within this initiative (DFG: Research Grants Programme (“Sachbeihilfe”); UNAM: PAPIIT).
- Principal investigators (PIs) at UNAM submit their documents to UNAM, PIs based in Germany to the DFG.
- All documents must be written in English.
- Funding of the joint research projects is contingent upon positive assessment by both funding organisations. Unilateral funding of only one part of a project is not possible.
Applicants should demonstrate how bringing together researchers based in Germany and at UNAM will add value and advance their research. It is expected that each partner will substantially contribute to the common project.
