The African-German Scientific Exchange in the Field of Neurosciences from the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) supports scientific exchange in the field of neurosciences. This initiative covers all research questions that are primarily concerned with neurosciences. Subject areas include basic, applied and clinical topics. Research questions concerning neglected tropical infectious diseases in humans and animals as well as their social and behavioural aspects are excluded from the initiative and will not be considered to be within the scope of the call.
The DFG aims to facilitate this exchange by means of the following measures:
(1) An invitation to submit posters reflecting the participating researchers’ expertise, research interests and ideas for collaborative research projects and subsequently to engage with other participants on the basis of the compiled posters. Posters are due February 29, 2024.
(2) A subsequent call for DFG proposals for funding of the Initiation of International Collaboration. Proposals are due August 31, 2024.
(3) A “Forum Connect and Exchange” in Bonn/Germany to convene all researchers due to receive funding under this call for the Initiation of International Collaboration.
Qualified researchers from all African countries and Germany are invited to submit posters (as a rule they should hold a doctorate and have a track record in their respective research field).
