Global South

Working closely with other units at TU Berlin, International Projects coordinates the measures of the University's Strategy on Global Responsibility and is the central point of contact for academic cooperation with partners in the Global South.

Beginning 2019, TU Berlin announces annual calls for seed funding for researchers at the University who are interested in initiating new projects or seeking to strengthen their cooperation with partners in the Global South. An overview of all projects funded since 2019, including reports for projects which have already been implemented, is available on our website under "TU seed funding to support cooperation with the Global South - Funded projects."

To support the academic chairs at TU Berlin and help foster cooperative exchange, International Projects maintains an updated overview of all cooperations with partners in the Global South. We welcome all feedback from the chairs and research groups about current and new projects as well as submitted projects, particularly those which have been approved.

If you have any questions about individual countries, please contact the appropriate person in International Projects (INT IP) or International Scientific Cooperation (INT WS).

Information about student exchange is available from Student Mobility and International Students (INT SB).

Every year, International Projects, the Research Section, and the EU Office at TU Berlin offer a joint information event for scientists on funding opportunities for cooperation with the Global South last year. More details can be found in the presentation from 2023.

Technische Universität Berlin was represented at the DAAD conference "International Scientific Cooperation for the World of Tomorrow: Global Centres for Health and Climate" on September 6 and 7.

In its strategy for global responsibility, the TU Berlin is committed to reducing the dreaded "Brain-Drain", especially in the so-called global south. The bridging function of scientists from these parts of the world is particularly important. In this article, three researchers give their recommendations.

TU Berlin's seed funding for cooperation with partners in the Global South supports both excellent and innovative research within the context of the University's Strategy on Global Responsibility. The funding is intended for researchers at TU Berlin interested in initiating new projects or seeking to strengthen existing cooperation with Global South partners.

Many projects have received seed funding since the initial pilot call in 2019. You can find here information about the projects selected for funding.

The Department of International Affairs at TU Berlin publishes a regularly updated list of selected current internal and external calls offering funding for international collaboration (research funding and mobility funding).

Currently not available.	Please contact the International Projects Section via ip@international.tu-berlin.de
