LMU-NYU Research Cooperation Program

The LMU-NYU partnership is open to all disciplines and supports joint research projects, workshops, conferences, visiting professorships to LMU, as well as research stays for early-career researchers.

In a competitive application process, NYU and LMU faculty members (Principal Investigators (“PIs”)) are eligible to submit joint proposals. The application process takes place once a year. Details of the application process for the 2026 funding period will be published in early 2025.

Collaborators from other institutions besides NYU and LMU, subject to an appropriate balance between internal and external researchers, are eligible to participate in projects but are not eligible for any financial support from NYU or LMU.

Further information with regard to networking

For more information on research and cultural initiatives at NYU and in New York City, please consult the German Center for Research and Innovation as well as the Deutsches Haus at NYU. Both institutions also publish a regular newsletter. The Deutsches Haus at NYU can also be approached for assistance in finding a room for a workshop/conference. In addition, Deutsches Haus at NYU invites DAAD (German Academic Exchange Service) visiting scholars of all academic disciplines on a regular basis.

In addition, we would like to inform you about the BayIntAn - Promoting Cooperation of the Bavarian Research Alliance. Within the framework of this initial support for international research cooperation, you can apply for reimbursement of travel expenses for a maximum of 21 days (outside Europe) up to a maximum of 10,000 euros. Further information may be found here.

If you have any questions regarding the LMU funding or the above-mentioned network initiatives, please contact the team International Networks by email via network.international@lmu.de.
