Funding Opportunities
In the framework of the cooperation with the GUC, interested students and researchers from Germany and Egypt have access to a number of funding opportunities in the field of academia and research.
Joint Teaching
The Cooperation Project with the German University in Cairo (GUC) invites professors and lecturers to participate in the Joint Teaching Program. Professors are encouraged to develop collaborative teaching activities that are being organized in cooperation with a professor at a German partner university, which are addressed at students from both sides.
PhD Research Stays
PhD students from the GUC can receive DAAD funding for a 6 to 12-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.
Joint Research Projects
Each year in August, interested lecturers are invited to submit their proposals for joint research projects in collaboration with a German partner. Each project receives a certain amount of funding with which a plethora of activities aimed at a common research question can be realised.
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 selected 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.
Study Opportunities and Scholarships
Students and graduates who are enrolled at the GUC can profit from unique fully funded scholarships for study stays between 6 and 24 months. Funding opportunities are available for Bachelor and Master students as well as doctoral candidates.
