Tips for Applicants
- ✓Partner identification is non-negotiable, your Chinese co-organiser letter must confirm commitment and roles before submission.

- ✓Budget narrative should detail participant costs (travel, accommodation, materials) separately from organisational overhead; DFG scrutinises indirect costs on bilateral calls.
