With the goal of advancing German-Israeli Scientific Cooperation both in research and teaching and in reaction to the Covid crisis, Freie Universität Berlin (FUB) and The Hebrew University of Jerusalem (HUJI), as part of their strategic partnership, are launching an initiative to develop and conduct joint digital and blended learning, teaching and mobility formats. The CfA is open to all disciplines, applicants may apply for funding of up to 6.000 EUR per course. Concept, content and teaching materials of each online lecture or joint course should be developed on a “fifty-fifty-basis” by FUB faculty and HUJI faculty. Funding may be used for the services of the e-learning units at both universities (at FUB: CeDiS). 

The detailed CfA can be accessed here. 

The deadline for submission has been extended until March 1, 2022.
