Abstract (publishable)
Hubert Curien Partnerships programme promotes the mobility of
scientists involved in bilateral research projects and is an important piece
of France’s program of scientific cooperation. A French initiative
coordinated within France by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and
International Development (MAEDI) and the Ministry of National
Education, Higher Education, and Research (MENESR), the partnerships
are financed in equal measure by France and the foreign partner as a
concrete expression of commitment to scientific cooperation between
the two countries.
The funds allocated to research teams under the Hubert Curien
Partnerships are designed to finance the mobility of researchers engaged
in a research project (by meeting the “international overload” for
transportation and lodging). The direct costs of the joint research are not
covered. Funding is granted on an annual basis for a period of one to two
years (or three years, in exceptional circumstances)
Rationale/Impact
By funding mobility and training, the Hubert Curien Partnerships has the
objective to contribute to the development of new partnerships and to
the strengthening of advanced scientific and technological exchanges
between research centers in France and partner countries.
Objectives
This programme intends to provide leverage for the development of
networks that will include additional teams from other European
countries and that can take advantage of the scientific and economic
opportunities offered under the Horizon 2020 framework program for
research and innovation.

Theme:
International cooperation in education, science and research is important
for Germany to tap into this wealth of knowledge and to secure its
competitive position as a location for science and business. The Federal
Cabinet adopted the new Strategy of the Federal Government for the
Internationalization of Education, Science and Research in February 2017.
The Strategy was developed under the leadership of the Federal Ministry
of Education and Research (BMBF). It follows up on the Federal
Government’s Internationalization Strategy of 2008 in response to new
trends and challenges which have arisen and have significant impact on
international collaboration in education, science and research. These
trends and challenges include increasing globalization, digitalization, the
further development of the European Research Area and the emergence
of new global centres of innovation outside of established scientific hubs.

The joint research fund GERF supports the bilateral Cooperation in Science,
Research and Innovation with development and emergency countries
facing global and societal challenges as defined in the mentioned thematic
areas 1-3.

Activity description
Abstract (publishable)
On the occasion of the closing event of the "German-Egyptian Year of
Science and Technology 2007" in Berlin, the German Federal Ministry of
Education and Research (BMBF) and the Egyptian Ministry of Higher
Education and Scientific Research (MoHESR) agreed to establish a German-
Egyptian Research Fund (GERF) for the support of joint application-
oriented research projects.
Both sides have agreed to announce joint calls for proposals in the frame
of the German Egyptian Research Fund (GERF) regularly in order to support
innovative, application-oriented research projects.
The grants, which are awarded bi-annually from the Joint Fund, are
generally open to German-Egyptian research teams based at public or non-
public Egyptian and German research organizations, public or non-public
institutions of higher education, non- university research institutions or
commercial companies, particularly SMEs, and non-governmental and civil
society organizations. The participation of industrial/business enterprises
– especially those headquartered in Germany or Egypt – is highly
welcomed.
Since the joint funding tool was implemented in 2008, the BMBF and the
Egyptian Science and Technology Development Fund STDF have published
a total of four joint calls for proposals (2008, 2010, 2012, 2015) in subjects
related to the fields prioritised in the Year of Science – (e.g. Biotechnology,
Medicine, Material Sciences, Water, Renewable Energies, Humanities and
Social Sciences etc.) - which have in the interim been supplemented by
wide-ranging topics of common research interest (e.g. Climate Change,
Urban Planning & Transportation, ICT etc.) and societal challenges (e.g.
Food, Water, Energy etc.).
Since 2011, GERF is in funds of a total of € 1 million per year from each side
and can provide grants up to € 200,000 for each joint project (German and
Egyptian side up to € 100,000 each). The maximum duration of a joint
project is 24 months.
Rationale/Impact
Junior research groups in particular from Egypt and Germany are offered
the opportunity through the joint funds to implement innovative,
application-oriented, industry-relevant research projects. A further goal of
the bilateral research fund is the support of scientific networks when
applying for funding from the EU Framework Programme HORIZON2020 or
from national funding programmes.
