Dear distinguished partner universities,

The DAAD Regional Office in Hanoi would like to inform you about a new scholarship programme: Global Research Opportunities for the South (GROW), funded by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ). It aims to support early-career researchers and established academics and scientists from Asia, Latin America, and Sub-Saharan Africa in building strong, sustainable research partnerships with Germany.

The programme funds short-term research stays in Germany, as well as preparatory and cooperation visits, all with a clear focus on the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and tangible development impacts.

Applications may be submitted until 3 April 2026. For additional information, please refer to the call for applications detailed in the DAAD’s scholarship database: daad.de/go/en/stipa57862427. 

We would be very grateful if you could also share this information with your personal and professional networks who might be interested in applying. Thank you for your cooperation!

Best regards,

The DAAD Regional Office in Hanoi
