New GERF Call for Social Sciences and Humanities
Joint Announcement
of the Science and Technology Development Funds (STDF) of the Arab Republic of Egypt and the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) of the Federal Republic of Germany of regulations governing the funding of joint research projects in the field of the social sciences and humanities through the "German- Egyptian Research Fund” (GERF).
Funding Purpose
The general aim of this call is to promote German-Egyptian research cooperation in the fields of social sciences and the humanities. However, against the background of the historical changes in Egypt since February 2011, the grants are especially intended to fund Egyptian-German action-oriented and practical research projects that can support the processes of democratic transformation and socio-economic development in Egypt. Thus, research results generated in these projects are to guide the government, governmental agencies and administration as well as civil society actors in building an all-comprising state-society dialogue. Additionally, the research results are to suggest solutions for urgent problems related to the processes of democratic transformation and socio-economic change.
For more information, please refer to the official GERF Call.
