Topics in focus
Freedom to cooperate
Germany is a leading destination for research and innovation. International cooperation and exchange are key success factors. Promoting and supporting collaboration with partners from around the globe is a top priority for Germany. Thus, it offers unique opportunities and funding for international cooperation. That’s why researchers and innovators in Germany have the freedom to cooperate with their preferred partners from all over the world.
For our special issue, we have visited international researchers at German universities and research institutions. They provide exciting insights into their projects with international partners. Moreover, we have compiled a selection of funding programmes that support international cooperation in research and innovation.
From Lab to Pitch
Germany is the host country of the 2024 UEFA European Football Championship. Football is not only the world’s most popular sport, it is also full of research. Knowledge-based innovation and novel technologies are key to success in football.

Innovation Map
A German-Polish innovation map was created with the support of ''Research in Germany'', in which Polish alumni and alumnae of German funding organisations can enter their fields of expertise and contacts. Here you can already find more than 100 academics who have conducted research in Germany and are open to joint research projects - and the number is growing.
The map is part of an innovation network (''Innovationsnetzwerk'') the German embassy in Warsaw has established to foster science cooperation between Germany and Poland.
EnergInno Brazil
EnergInno Brazil is a new campaign that aims at strengthening the scientific research and industrial cooperation between the Brazilian and German sector of sustainable energy, including small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and start-ups. In the field of green energy, EnergInno Brazil focuses on the Brazilian and German markets of Green Hydrogen and Biogas. The campaign is led by the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft as a constituent component of "Research in Germany".
InnoHealth USA
InnoHealth USA is designed to strengthen the scientific research and the cooperation between the US and German health sector, including small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and start-ups.

International campaigns by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF)
The international campaigns of the BMBF foster innovation by supporting international cooperation with nations of high research and technology potential. Each campaign is dedicated to a thematic priority or a partner nation and invites relevant top-class research networks based in Germany to showcase their projects, technologies and innovation competence abroad. This allows the networks to meet international partners and strengthen ties to advance research and technology and develop solutions for pressing challenges of the future.
