Seventeen new collaborative projects will contribute to research excellence across the arts and humanities thanks to the ongoing collaboration between the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG, German Research Foundation) and the UK Research and Innovation\u2019s Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC). This new tranche of awarded projects will bring the two funding organisations\u2019 partnership, which has been ongoing since 2018, to a total of 127 awards.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Extension of Bilateral Partnership<\/strong><\/p>\n We are pleased to note that in May 2025, the AHRC and the DFG extended the longstanding bilateral funding partnership for a further five rounds, raising the total number of annual funding opportunities to thirteen. This partnership will continue to deepen and strengthen the cooperation between researchers from the UK and Germany, thus leading to the growth of a transnational UK-German research culture.\u00a0The current eighth funding opportunity is open for proposals until\u202f11 February 2026.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/p>\n Discovery-Led Model<\/strong>\u00a0<\/p>\n Through the discovery-led model adopted for this programme, researchers are empowered to pursue areas of international research significance as identified through their own work. The projects funded this year cover a wide and diverse range of topics, providing new understanding of research fields, including archaeology, history, law, literature, linguistics, musicology and philosophy.\u00a0<\/p>\n Projects Funded (Alphabetical Order):<\/strong>\u00a0<\/p>\n BeTrustData \u2013 Public Benefit and Public Trust in the Context of Health Data Research and Innovation<\/strong>\u00a0<\/p>\n Germany: Professor Ruth Horn (Universit\u00e4t Augsburg)\u00a0 Brevit \u2013 Breathing Behaviour and Non-Lexical Vocalisations in Talk-in-Interaction<\/strong>\u00a0<\/p>\n Germany: Dr. J\u00fcrgen Trouvain (Universit\u00e4t des Saarlandes)\u00a0 CLIPP \u2013 Crosslinguistic Influence in Predictive Processing and Production of Morphosyntactic Features in Heritage Language Children<\/strong>\u00a0<\/p>\n Germany: Dr. Anamaria Bentea (Universit\u00e4t Konstanz)\u00a0 DELTA \u2013 Digital Exploration of Lute Tablature Agencies.
