DAAD-Kyoto University Partnership Programme towards SDGs
The “DAAD-Kyoto University Partnership Programme” aims to foster academic exchange and co-operation between institutions of higher education and research institutions in Germany and Kyoto University in order to promote joint research projects and scientific collaboration in any field connected to the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through funding to increase the mobility of junior scholars and Early Career Researcher (ECR). The objective is to strengthen or initiate long-term bilateral or multilateral collaborative research and partnerships among German universities / research institutions and Kyoto University.
The DAAD and Kyoto University have agreed to extend MoU on the 2nd stage, and to invest an annual budget each for approximately two new projects from each side.
