Fully Funded Research Mobility in Africa: 2026 AGNES Intra

The African-German Network of Excellence in Science (AGNES) is inviting applications for its 2026 Intra-Africa Mobility Grants for Junior Researchers, supporting doctoral researchers from sub-Saharan Africa to undertake short-term research stays at universities or research institutes in another sub-Saharan African country.

Supported by the German Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) and the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation (AvH), the programme is designed to strengthen scientific capacity, research collaboration and professional networks among young researchers across Africa.

The grants support research stays of one to two months and can provide up to EUR 3,000, depending on the duration of the approved stay.

The application deadline is 16 October 2026 at 23:59 GMT, with research stays expected to take place between 1 March and 31 July 2027.
