Hints concerning funding for German Scientists

Members of German Universities (Fachhochschule und Universitäten) should analyze the "Kongress- und Vortragsreisenprogramm" of DAAD, http://www.daad.de/ausland/foerderungsmoeglichkeiten/ausschreibungen/11450.de.html. Applications have to be submitted 4 months before the congress starts!

A list of funding opportunities for NGOs, CBOs and researchers, compiled by Giacomo Rambaldi, can be found at http://www.iapad.org/funding_sources.htm. We expect this might be helpful for some of the participants!
