Applications opened on 9 April 2015 for the Australia-Germany Joint Research Cooperation Scheme, a joint initiative of Universities Australia and the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD). The former Go8-DAAD scheme has been replaced by this scheme.

This scheme will support exchanges for Australian researchers to spend time at partner institutions in Germany and for collaborating German researchers to spend time at Australian universities. The support of early career researchers and junior scholars is a significant focus of this scheme. The scheme is open to Monash researchers in all academic fields involved in a collaborative project with German research partners.

Grants up to AUD12,500 per project per annum are provided to support Monash researchers travelling to Germany. The German collaborating partner must submit a corresponding application, with the same project title, to the DAAD in Germany by the closing date. The funding available per German application is up to EUR 8,000 per project per year. Grants will cover the costs of economy airfares and living expenses. Projects are funded for one or two years commencing in 2016.

This scheme has been advertised in Research Professional. You can also download an application pack. (You will be asked to log in with your Monash email address and authcate password.)

Applications close on Tuesday 30 June 2015 with the Monash Research Office.

MRO will arrange for the applications to be ranked within each research discipline according to the assessment criteria. If you have any queries please contact Dennis Batson (dennis.batson@monash.edu or 990 51193).
