DFG Office Russia/CIS
The DFG office in Moscow
Due to the current political situation, the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG, German Research Foundation) is suspending its institutional cooperation activities with Russia for the time being. The DFG is aware of the consequences of these measures and at the same time deeply regrets them from an academic perspective. However, the DFG remains available as a reliable contact partner for researchers of both countries.
Please note the current information for new proposals and ongoing cooperation projects with Russian participation:

Tasks Performed by the DFG’s Russia/CIS Office
Since the office’s opening, the DFG has been pursuing the following tasks and goals in Russia:
- Developing and supporting bilateral cooperation
This task involves providing advice and mentoring services for researchers, as well as for research (funding) organisations in Germany and the CIS countries. - Maintaining and strengthening institutional collaboration with Russian partner organisations
Consists of setting up and expanding co-financed cooperation projects in accordance with the DFG’s funding spectrum and review standards. This is done through joint funding agreements and announcements. - Early career support
Involves providing support in establishing contact and cooperative relationships, in particular within the framework of the International Research Training Groups. This task also involves including early career researchers in events and addressing them through specially targeted conferences and symposia. - Preparing for and implementing measures to promote cooperation
Involves initiating and organising bilateral seminars and roundtable discussions and mentoring delegation visits to Russia and Germany, as well as supporting Russia’s integration into the European Research Area by arranging and participating in conferences on the synergies between bilateral German-Russian and multilateral EU research funding. - Intensifying cooperation with research centres in Russia and the other CIS countries
Involves performing public relations work and establishing contacts with research centres outside Moscow and Russia. These activities focus on those centres whose international contacts do not currently fulfil the high scientific potential often achieved in a variety of areas.
The systematic expansion of institutional collaboration with Russian funding organisations facilitates the joint funding of collaborations in all areas of basic research. Information on proposal submissions and framework agreements on the co-financing of research projects with the following partner organisations is available at:
In addition to supporting the initiation of German-Russian collaboration projects, the DFG therefore funds around 300 projects with Russian involvement. It does so increasingly within the framework of larger coordinated programmes, like International Research Training Groups, Priority Programmes and Collaborative Research Centres. The GEPRIS Internet database contains information on research projects currently funded by the DFG, as well as on the people and institutions involved.
