Within the scope of D-A-CH collaboration, an agreement has been signed between the partner organisations DFG (German Research Foundation), the FWF (Austrian Science Fund, Austria) and the SNSF (Swiss National Science Foundation, Switzerland), regarding the mutual opening of the respective funding programmes ("Lead Agency" process) to simplify the execution of cross-border research projects.
Bilateral and trilateral research projects in which a proportion of the research takes place in Germany, Austria and/or Switzerland are submitted to the lead agency in one of the three partner countries. Following approval, these D-A-CH projects are then funded separately by the relevant national funding organisations.
