LMU-Stellenbosch University (SU) Research Cooperation Program

The LMU-SU partnership is open to all disciplines and supports joint research and partnership development projects, workshops, conferences, as well as mobility opportunities for early-career researchers and professors.

Call for Applications for 2025

The call for applications for the 2025 funding period is now open.

Funding is available for applications that combine the financing options listed below into one cooperation project:

• cooperative formats such as joint projects, workshops and conferences
• individual mobilities

One application may involve costs of up to EUR 25,000 per annum.

• Application deadline: 10 June 2025
• Notification: mid June 2025

Please note that with the recent start of the partnership, commitments for 2025 can only be guaranteed for the funding period starting 1 July 2025 and ending 31 December 2025.

Detailed information regarding the amount of funding, the funding criteria and required documents can be found in the 2025 Call for Applications (PDF, 163 KB) document.
