Collaborative Research Grants with the Hebrew University of Jerusalem

Collaborative Research Grants foster international research broadly. Applicants from all schools and disciplines are encouraged to submit funding applications for innovative and sustainable projects built around research linking faculty at the University of Bonn and the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.

The expectation is that these initial projects will lead to or continue long-term research collaborations, institutional and research relations, and when applicable, generate publications, exhibitions, and/or external funding.

Applicants may elect to include additional research partners from partner universities in the Global Universities for Societal Impact (GUSI) network: Emory University or University of St Andrews. For more information on this option, please consult the call guidelines.

Successful funding applications will be awarded up to €20,000 per project (up to €10,000 each from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and the University of Bonn). These funds must be used for research (broadly defined) and must follow the budget guidelines.

The budget costs for HUJI and Bonn must be shown separately in the financing plan.

• Expenses for University of Bonn or Hebrew University of Jerusalem research staff to travel to the partner university (for Bonn staff: transportation, accommodation, and per diem rates in accordance with the Travel Expenses Act of the State of NRW; for stays of visiting researchers in Bonn, please consult our recommended per diems and mobility lump sums)
• Costs for hosting a seminar, conference or workshop
• Material expenses and student assistants needed to conduct research activities, events, and hospitality
• Personnel expenses, scholarships, as well as basic equipment (e.g. laptops, computers, etc.) are excluded from this funding

For more specific information, please consult the grant program’s guidelines.
