Collaboration between UK and Germany Supports World-leading Research in Arts and Humanities

Awards have been made to 20 collaborative research projects in the fourth round of funding delivered by the partnership between the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) and the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG, German Research Foundation). This is the fourth round of funding delivered by this collaboration which will see a further 20 collaborative research projects combine international expertise to tackle pressing global challenges.

After receiving high-quality proposals, both funders agreed to support 20 projects. This means an increase in budget, totaling over £5.5 million in the UK, matched by over 8.1 million for research teams in Germany. This is the largest investment, and the highest number of funded projects in any one round through this funding partnership.

All research funded as part of this collaboration partners arts and humanities researchers based in the UK and Germany to pursue academic research of the highest quality. Successful proposals have all demonstrated the added value which cross-national collaboration will make to advancing their area of research.
