Hamburglobal Funding Program

Current application deadlines:

• 1–31 March 2020 for stays abroad that will begin between 1 July and 31 December 2020.
• 1–31 October 2020 for stays abroad that will begin between 1 January and 30 June 2021.

Submit your application exclusively online by the specified deadline. The online application portal is available from 1–31 March and from 1-31 October respectively. Applications are accepted during these periods only. Follow the guidelines for online applications.

We recommend that you observe the above-mentioned application deadlines to ensure planning security early on. For stays abroad planned at short notice, you have the following application possibilities:

• 1–31 March 2020:
  • retroactively for stays abroad that began no earlier than 1 January 2020 and will end no earlier than 1 April 2020.
  • for stays abroad that will begin between 1 April and 30 June 2020.
• 1–31 October 2020:
  • retroactively for stays abroad that began in the current calendar year and will end between 1 November and 31 December 2020.
  • for short-term stays that will take place between 1 November and 31 December 2020.

This option does not apply to applications that were rejected in the previous application round.

1–31 March for study excursions that will begin between 1 July and 31 December 2020.
1–31 October for study excursions that will begin between 1 January and 30 June 2021 and for study excursions that are in an advanced planning stage, even if the excursion is planned to take place between 1 July and 30 September 2021. In this case, a renewed application in the following March for the same study excursion is not permitted; the funds will be disbursed no earlier than two months before the excursion begins.

University instructors only may submit applications for funding for study excursions.

Given the spread of the corona virus Hamburglobal funding for stays abroad in China, France (Grand Est), Iran, Italy and South Korea will not be paid out until further notice. Applications for stays abroad in China, France (Grand Est), Iran, Italy and South Korea planned for 2020 may still be made, although the granting and payment of funding is dependent on how the situation in the country of destination continues to develop.
