Financing your stay

In addition to financing your research stay yourself or receiving funding from an institution in your home country, there is also the possibility of applying for support from one of the several German institutions that offer funding.

For an overview of funding options, please visit the Research Support Office website.

Short-term stays can also be arranged within the framework of partnership agreements and exchange projects. Please contact your German host to discuss funding issues.

In addition, some programs of the German Research Foundation (DFG) have an international outlook, enabling individuals, individual projects and coordinated programs to be funded, as well as measures for preparing collaborative projects.

The DAAD and the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation have extensive scholarship databases on their websites, enabling researchers to search for a suitable scholarship by discipline or academic status.
