Media Release 21 November 2025

Australian and German researchers partnering to solve global challenges

Researchers from Australian and German universities are partnering to develop research-driven solutions to major global challenges. 

Through the latest round of the Australia-Germany Joint Research Cooperation Scheme, talented researchers will collaborate on 35 projects spanning clean energy, medical research and housing affordability. 

  • The full list of successful recipients of the 2025 Australia-Germany Joint Research Cooperation Scheme is available here. 

Universities Australia Chief Executive Officer Luke Sheehy said the research areas captured in this year’s scheme demonstrate how much universities matter to our future. 

“Research is the foundation of progress – driving innovation, solving real-world challenges and shaping a better future,” Mr Sheehy said. 

“International research collaborations are vital to securing our success, safety and prosperity in a changing global environment and we’re thrilled to be continuing to work with our close partner Germany – a powerhouse in research and development.” 

Researchers will spend time at partner institutions in Germany and vice versa, supported by more than $2.2 million in funding under the 2025 round. 

The Australia-Germany Joint Research Cooperation Scheme is a joint initiative of Universities Australia and the German Academic Exchange Service—Germany’s national agency for the support of international academic cooperation. 

The partnership has fostered high-quality research collaboration and supported the exchanges of researchers since 2015.
