WWU Münster and FAPESP publish new joint call for proposals SPRINT

Within the framework of the SPRINT funding programme (FAPESP - São Paulo Researchers in International Collaboration), the Brazilian research organisation FAPESP and WWU Münster once again published a joint call for up to three (3) mobility projects between researchers from WWU and the state of São Paulo to promote the preparation of joint research projects through reciprocal scientific visits and meetings (seed funding).

The goal is to promote the preparation of joint research projects by funding reciprocal scientific meetings. Subsequently, funding for these research projects should be requested from FAPESP and a funding agency on the German side, such as the German Research Foundation (DFG).

The call is open to all disciplines.

FAPESP will provide up to 10,000 euros per project. The University of Münster will also contribute up to 10,000 euros per project, whereby 50% of University´s funding will be provided by the Brazil Centre and 50% shall be co-financed by the researchers with other funds (institute, department, third-party funds or others).

On the Brazilian side, researchers who have an ongoing research project funded by FAPESP are eligible to apply for SPRINT. For more details we recommend to observe items 3.1. and 4.2. of the FAPESP call.

The deadline for submitting proposals closes on 30 January 2023.
