OeAD | Cooperation Development Research 6th Call
The programme "Cooperation Development Research" (KoEF), financed by the BMFWF and implemented by OeAD, is a funding program to foster research on the two main principles of excellency and cooperation in development research.
Funding is provided for cooperation projects between Austrian higher education and research institutions and institutions in countries of the Global South, with the aim of contributing to the analysis and solution of local challenges and to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Target group
Researchers (postdocs) at Austrian universities and non-university research institutions are eligible to apply.
Only Austrian Higher Education Institutions or Austrian Research Institutions are able to submit and coordinate a project. However, as in previous years, project consortia must consist of at least one Austrian public university or research performing institution and at least one partner institution in the Global South. Therefore partner institutions in the Global South are eligible as project partners.
Funding sum
Funding is available for mobility and material costs for two-year research projects in all scientific disciplines.
The amount of funding per approved project is up to EUR 40,000.
Application
The application deadline is 30 November, 2025 at 11h.
