Funding of projects by the Bavaria California Technology Center

The Bavaria California Technology Center (BaCaTeC, www.bacatec.de) promotes the cooperation of research facilities in Bavaria and California in the high-tech areas of life sciences, information- and communication technologies, new materials, environmental technology and mechatronics. Preferred subject of sponsoring is the initial funding of new projects, especially those which support the exchange of scientists in reference to the projects.

Financial support may be granted to submitted projects that describe the initiation of lasting cooperation between Bavarian and Californian facilities and which will be supported by other institutions in the future. The funding line “Joined Public-Private Proposals” supports projects with involved companies as well. The initial funding provided by BaCaTeC will mainly cover expenses for travel and accom-modations. The general upper limit of financial support is € 20,000 per project.

Application forms are available at bacatec.de. The next deadline will be April 15th, 2025. Applications are limited to two pages (DIN-A4). Sponsored projects will be selected by the beginning of June. Start of activity, if granted: July 1st 2025.

P.S.: Please consider also our new program for subsequent support of successfully initiated projects (same deadline April 15th): bacatec.de
