Bilateral Research Projects

The funding program “Sino German Research Projects” offers the opportunity for mid-term bilateral co-operation (up to three years) between at least one researcher from Germany and one from China .

Within this funding scheme the Sino German Center provides financial support for consumables, smaller scientific equipment as well as travel and accommodation costs. Basically the Sino German Center can not provide money for personnel (with the only exception within this program for the German applicants because of a particular agreement with DFG).

Precondition for applications is a previously received funding by the Sino German Center in another funding program, e.g. the participation in a Center-funded workshop. Chinese applicants must be holder of a current or previous grant from the National Natural Science Foundation of China*. German applicants must be eligible to apply at the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft.

* This precondition need not to be fulfilled for young researchers below the age of 35.
