The LMU-SU Research Cooperation Programme was established in 2025 to promote and support research collaboration between LMU Munich and Stellenbosch University (SU).
An initial call for 2025 is now open for initiative July – December 2025 (information below). The Call for 2026 will start in July and provide more time for preparation and joint planning for initiatives in 2026. Applications for 2025 may focus on initial exploratory visits to prepare for the 2026 Call that will close towards the end of September 2025.
The LMU-SU partnership is open to all disciplines and supports joint research and partnership development projects, workshops, conferences, as well as mobility opportunities for early-career researchers and professors.
