ⓘ The application process for the different programmes is detailed in the respective section.
Funding Opportunities
As a GUC researcher you have access to a number of funding opportunities.
Joint Research Projects
You can apply for funding for a joint research project together with researchers from the GUC. The funds are provided by the BMBF (Federal Ministry of Education and Research) through the DAAD-GUC project at Ulm University.
Short Research Stays
Starting 2024, the Cooperation Project with the GUC offers funded short-term research stays for researchers from all fields. This exchange takes place both ways: Researchers from all Higher Education Institutions in Germany are invited to spend up to two months in Cairo in order to participate in selected research projects situated at the GUC. At the same time, researchers at the GUC are given the opportunity to spend a similar duration at a German partner institution.
This instrument is intended to highlight the opportunities that researchers have for academic cooperation with the participating partner universities. In addition to intercultural aspects, they also receive important impulses for building and expanding their professional network and familiarise themselves with research structures in a foreign country.
Duration: 2 weeks up to 2 months in the period between June - August
Call: The call for applications is generally published in March each year, here on this website
PhD Research Stays
PhD students from the GUC can receive DAAD funding for a 6 to 24-month research stay at a German university. The scholarship is aimed at Teaching Assistants at the GUC and is advertised through the GUC in fall.
