DAAD-Kyoto University Partnership Programme towards SDGs

 

We would like to draw your attention to the "Programme of Project-Based Personnel Exchange (PPP) with Kyoto University 2025-2027" (also known as the DAAD-Kyoto University Partnership Programme towards SDGs) – a collaboration between Kyoto University and the DAAD.

 

This program, jointly initiated by the DAAD and Kyoto University, aims to establish sustainable partnerships and networks between German universities or non-university German research institutions and Kyoto University, as well as their partners. The special focus is on the exchange of early career researchers (ECR), whose research contributes to achieving the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

 

The program supports short-term stays of research group members from German universities and their partner institutions at Kyoto University within the framework of joint existing or new scientific projects across all disciplines. The funding includes mobility and accommodation allowances and is exclusively available to doctoral candidates and postdoctoral researchers whose doctorate was awarded no more than five years ago.

 

Information for German universities and non-university research institutions can be found on the DAAD program page, where applications must also be submitted. Please select "Programm des projektbezogenen Personenaustauschs Japan mit der Universität Kyoto ab 2025“ under „Antragsmöglichkeiten“ to access the relevant page of the DAAD application platform. Please note that the website is available in german only.

 

The application deadline is September 10, 2024.

 

The selection will be made by the DAAD in consultation with Kyoto University. For inquiries to Kyoto University, contact through the Kyoto University Research Administration Center (KURA) is expressly encouraged.
