The Oxford Berlin Research Partnership has set itself the goal of strengthening mobility and extended networking between the locations. This way funds can be provided at short notice in the context of the partnership in order to support the initiation of new or the continuation and strengthening of existing collaborations and research projects. Funding is awarded on a low-threshold basis on the recommendations of the Academic Directors and members of the Academic Liaison Committee.

Funds are to be allocated mainly to cover travel and accommodation expenses as well as the costs of holding workshops, smaller services (e.g. translation activities), and other similar activities.
