About This Opportunity

The AHRC-DFG Research Grants programme supports arts and humanities research projects conducted through UK-German collaboration. This funding opportunity is the eighth round of a bilateral programme that aims to support academic research of the highest quality in the humanities undertaken by UK-German teams, making fundamental advances in human knowledge. Projects must consist of two highly integrated national teams based in the UK and Germany, with all proposals demonstrating the added value of international collaboration to research objectives. The programme also seeks to deepen and strengthen cooperation between UK and German researchers in the humanities, fostering the growth of a transnational UK-German research culture. Projects must have a substantive research focus and feature an integrated work programme, with work packages delivered reasonably equally between partners.
