Description

As strategic partners, the University of Sydney and the Heidelberg University are committed to achieving impact through research collaboration.

Ignition Grants facilitate and support collaborative projects between the University of Sydney and the Heidelberg University that develop multidisciplinary innovative research and create academic and societal impact.

These grants are designed to provide early- and mid-career researchers with the opportunity to develop joint research projects with our strategic partner.

All funded projects should evolve into larger-scale projects and leverage external funding. Evidence of external funding submissions will be required in final project reports.

In this round, up to three projects will be funded:

Each project will have two teams led by Chief Investigators, one from the University of Sydney and one from Heidelberg University.

The average award will be AUD 13,000 from the University of Sydney and €8,000 from the Heidelberg University.

Proposals must include a team of participants from both institutions and preference will be given to teams which include PhD or Masters by Research students, Postdocs, Early- and Mid-Career Researchers (EMCRs) and/or researchers on sabbatical leave. Projects which are multidisciplinary in nature are encouraged. Preference is given to applications involving new collaborations, and to projects led by researchers within 10 years of receiving their PhD.

Multidisciplinary projects that address the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals are strongly encouraged.
