Call for funding: Partnerships for sustainable solutions with the countries of the South Caucasus and Central Asia
Research cooperation with the countries of the South Caucasus (Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia) and Central Asia (Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Mongolia, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan) has intensified significantly in recent years, particularly in the context of the “turning point”.
In view of their global significance for society as a whole, the priority topics addressed are in line with the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals and are therefore highly relevant for both Germany and the target regions:
1. Research on renewable and sustainable energy, including energy efficiency
2. Research on water and on climate and the environment, including climate and environmental risks and adaptation to climate change
3. Biodiversity research
4. Health research
Project outlines must be submitted by July 8, 2024 at the latest.
The project outline must be submitted in German and should contain the following information:
- Information on the project coordinator and the German and foreign project partners,
- Description of the project objective and work plan
- Information on the state of the art in science and technology at the funding applicant,
- Assessment of the exploitation/application possibilities,
- Measures for communicating the research process and the research results (if applicable),
- Estimated expenditure/costs (including participation of third parties and expected funding requirements and, if applicable, project lump sum)
The outline should not exceed 10 pages (plus attachments) DIN A4.
