This call is based on the DFG funding programme “Initiation of International Collaboration”. Under this programme, applicants interested in establishing collaborative scientific relations with partners abroad may apply for funding for trips abroad or guest visits, for example.

For the purpose of this call:

• “Applicants” are researchers in the German research system who apply for funding under the AIMS-DFG Collaboration Visits Programme,
• “Fellows” are researchers whose collaboration visits are funded under the AIMS-DFG Collaboration Visits Programme.
• Two different modules are available:
• Trips abroad to one of the six AIMS centres (in Cameroon, Ghana, Rwanda, Senegal or South Africa) undertaken by researchers in the German research system (max. three months)
• Guest visits to universities in Germany undertaken by researchers in early career phases from African countries (max. three months)

The focus of this programme is to facilitate collaboration visits. However, the funding of scientific workshops can be granted in exceptional cases. The funding remains available for a maximum of 12 months after the approval date: individual collaborative measures must be carried out within this time frame.
