The German scientist is solely responsible to DFG for the execution of the project according to plan and for the proper use of funds. Equipment purchased with BMZ-funds will generally remain in the host country. Such items will normally be bought on the partner's request by the institution of the German collaborator, unless alternative arrangements have been made. DFG expects the German scientist and the co-operation partner to implement the project jointly in the manner set forth in the application. Scientific results of the co-operation should be published in a language accessible in the host country.
Joint publications are desirable.
After the project has been concluded the partners are obliged to submit a final joint report. Besides the scientific results, the report should also contain information as to the manner in which the results were made known in the partner country and what follow-up measures may be necessary. These reports should be submitted to DFG in triplicate. Please send suggestions concerning the WWW service to Hrn.
