Several bilateral programmes have been dedicated specifically to German-Israeli scientific cooperation since 1964. On the German side, they are usually funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research and implement their funding measures on their own responsibility.
Minerva has been the largest and most multifaceted cooperation programme for years. In addition, the German-Israeli Foundation for Scientific Research and Development (GIF), the foundation “Martin Buber Society of Fellows in the Humanities” (MBSF) and the German-Israeli Project Cooperation (DIP) play a key role in German-Israeli cooperation.
The Minerva Foundation is a subsidiary of the Max Planck Society. It has been supporting German-Israeli cooperation for about 60 years. Over the decades, it has developed several programme lines that include both individual and institutional funding measures.
The foundation has been funding German-Israeli basic and applied research projects since 1986. GIF restructured its funding programme in 2021 with the launch of the NEXUS programme.
The programme serves to fund larger, multi-year projects of excellence in German-Israeli cooperation. The cooperation has been administered by the German Research Foundation (DFG) since 2008.
The Foundation “Martin Buber Society of Fellows in the Humanities” has been promoting cooperation between German and Israeli researchers in the humanities, cultural studies and social sciences at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem since 2010.
