With the goal of facilitating cooperation in the framework of a strategic partnership, Freie Universität Berlin (FUB) and the Hebrew University of Jerusalem (HUJI) have established a joint seed money funding scheme, to enable FUB and HUJI faculty and researchers to identify complementary strengths, facilitate the use of synergies, and promote the development of outstanding future research projects.

Academic Fields: The 2022-2023 call is open to collaboration of HUJI and FUB scientists in all academic fields. Applications can be either focused on one discipline or be of interdisciplinary nature. Applications in the Natural Sciences and Digital Humanities are particularly welcome. Participants should include ideally both senior and junior faculty/researchers (PhD students or Post Docs) of FUB and HUJI. Inclusion of researchers from another university or of German non-university research institutions such as Max Planck Institutes, Helmholtz Centers, Leibniz Institutes, and Fraunhofer Institutes and others, is possible, however, the additional costs must be covered by the external partners.

Joint proposals should be submitted by 2 November 2022. More information about the application process can be found here.
