Einstein Berlin/HUJI Research Projects support excellent collaborative scientific projects of the Berlin universities and the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. The proposed projects must meet the highest quality standards, and must be high-risk in the most positive sense of the word, and must both strengthen the respective research area within Berlin and foster the collaboration with the HUJI.

FAQs about the Einstein Berlin/HUJI Research Projects
No. The maximum duration is three years; further funding is not possible.
There is no fixed amount and there is no cap when it comes to the amount of funding you can request. Please keep in mind that the resources of the Foundation are limited, and that research projects should be manageable in a three-year time frame and demand a sufficient degree of coordination between the Berlin and the Israeli partners. On average, applications request around €600k for a three-year project, but might very well vary (especially upwards) depending on the research field with higher sums usually requested by projects with high demand of consumables from the life sciences.
Applicants must be employed as a professor at the applying institution for at least the duration of the requested funding project; the same applies to the employment of collaborating partners (not necessarily as a professor). If it is foreseeable that this cannot be guaranteed for the entire duration of the project (e.g. due to retirement or a limited contract), the implementation of the project must be ensured in another way.
