6th Call for Africa-UniNet

The 6th Africa-UniNet call for research cooperation projects is open since 1 September 2025. Once the call has opened, all the relevant information and documents will be available on the call website.

Due to the regulations set by the Special Guideline on the “Maßnahmen zur Internationalisierung/Measures for Internationalisation” (GZ: BMBWF-2024-0.205.097) of the Federal Ministry of Women, Science and Research (BMFWF), which was published in 2024, only Austrian member institutions are eligible to submit and coordinate a project. However, as in previous years, project consortia must consist of at least one Austrian and at least one African member institution. Therefore, African member institutions are eligible as project partners. All participating institutions must be active Africa-UniNet members, i.e. they must have paid the membership fee 2025.

Applications can only be submitted via the StipOnline portal. Only one application may be submitted per project coordinator. There are no restrictions as to how many applications per institution can be submitted.

If you plan to submit a project, please contact the Head of BOKU-IR, Dr. Margarita Calderón-Peter, until 15 November 2025 at the latest so that the Letter of Endorsement can be signed by the Vice-Rector in good time.
