University of Münster invites applications for seed funding within the FAPESP SPRINT programme

As part of the SPRINT funding programme of FAPESP (São Paulo Researchers in International Collaboration), the University of Münster is once again participating in a call for proposals to co-finance up to three (3) mobility projects between researchers from the University of Münster and the state of São Paulo. The aim is to promote the preparation of joint research projects through reciprocal scientific visits and meetings (seed funding).

The call is open to all disciplines.

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).

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 observing items 3.1. and 4.2. of the FAPESP call.

The deadline for submitting proposals is 24 Februar 2025.
