Germany’s scientific relations with Russia are part of a lively, centuries-old tradition. Russia is particularly significant for the German scientific system and is a priority country in the DFG’s international funding programmes. The DFG has maintained an intensive scientific dialogue with Russia for decades and, since 2003, has supported the development of bilateral cooperation through its own representative office in Moscow. As well as being the DFG’s Russian headquarters, this liaison office functions as a local point of contact, providing advice and mentoring in cooperation programmes.

The systematic expansion of institutional collaboration with Russian partner organisations facilitates the joint promotion of cooperation in all areas of basic research. Framework agreements on the co-funding of research projects and researcher mobility exist with the following partners:

The Russian Academy of Sciences (RAN)
The Russian Foundation for Fundamental Investigations (RFFI)
The Russian Foundation for the Humanities (RGNF)

The DFG uses a variety of different instruments to support cooperation with its Russian partners in all their funding programmes. The close cooperative ties with Russia are impressively attested to by the approximately 400 proposals funded between 2007 and 2009 and reflect widespread participation in all the DFG’s processes. In addition to initiating German-Russian cooperation projects, the DFG funds primarily long-term, bilateral projects. It does so increasingly within the framework of coordinated programmes, like the two International Research Training Groups providing early career support. Further information on research projects currently funded by the DFG is provided by GEPRIS. This Internet database contains information on research topics, as well as on the people and institutions involved.
