To further strengthen cooperation on scientific and academic research between Germany and Sri Lanka, the DAAD and the NSF have launched a new Joint Mobility Program for Project-Related Personal Exchange.

Based on an MoU signed earlier this year, the purpose of this new Joint Mobility Program is to promote bilateral scientific cooperation in both countries by creating sustained networks between various Sri Lankan and German teams formed through individual research exchanges. Both parties provide financial support for exchange of researchers (short and long-term visits) from higher education or research institutions of both countries and will cover travel and living costs for their own research teams during their stay abroad. The program is open to all disciplines.

UWU researchers are encouraged to establish collaborative research partnerships with their German counterparts.
