Within the scope of their Cooperation Agreement, the Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico (CNPq, Brazilian National Council of Research) and the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG, German Research Foundation) are pleased to announce a joint call for German-Brazilian research projects in the areas of agricultural sciences, forestry and veterinary medicine. Interdisciplinary projects involving the social sciences and humanities can also be submitted, provided they have an agricultural, forestry or veterinary focus and are therefore within the remit of DFG review board 2.31.

This initiative aims to bring together relevant and competitive researchers from Germany and from Brazil to design and carry out jointly organised research projects of outstanding scientific quality.

Proposals for joint German-Brazilian projects have to be submitted in parallel by the researchers in Germany and in Brazil to their respective funding organisation according to the organisations’ respective format and regulations.

The application deadline is December 15, 2025.
