Funding is available for the following collaborative measures: Trips abroad (max. three months) or guest visits in Germany (max. three month); Exploratory workshops. Where such agreements exist, these measures may also be funded jointly by partner organisations abroad.

Application deadlines: Continuous

Citizenship or Residency: Germany. Researchers who have already achieved their doctorates and who are working in the German scientific system may apply. Special rules apply to members of non-university research institutions.

ARAP is designed to facilitate collaboration between researchers in the overseas universities and in A*STAR. Typically, a PhD student who remains matriculated at the overseas university, undertakes a 1-2 years of research work in an A*STAR research institute. A*STAR provides a monthly stipend and other allowances such as conference/medical insurance for the period that the student is here in Singapore.

The SIPGA programme  provides a 2-6 month experience in an A*STAR research institute for third or fourth year undergraduates or Masters students. The student works with a supervisor, usually as part of a larger research project, in an A*STAR institute. As A*STAR is a research organization rather than a university, students can arrange to start at any time of the year, subject to the availability of the supervisor. Admission to this programme is on a competitive basis.
