The cooperation of Israeli and Lower Saxon universities and research institutions has a long history. With the funding programme ‘Research Cooperations Lower Saxony – Israel’, which funds excellent collaborative research projects, the Ministry of Research and Culture in Lower Saxony and the Volkswagen Foundation support this partnership.
The funding programme addresses different disciplines (Humanities and Social Sciences; Life Sciences and Medicine; Natural Sciences, Mathematics and Engineering Sciences) in different years. The current call for application invites proposals from the Life Sciences and Medicine.
The application deadline will be in spring 2025.
The programme’s website offers more detailed information and lists contact persons at the Volkswagen Foundation who will be able to consult.
