Global Glimpse supports networking and collaboration with international partners. The goal is to establish long-term (research) networks worldwide and to expand professional and personal skills.
For example, the program supports work on joint publications, the development of innovative teaching and research approaches, the development of joint degree programs, the strengthening of networks with business and industry, and the transfer of knowledge to society. It also provides valuable opportunities for gaining insights and exchanging practical experiences through targeted job shadowing, for example, in administration, communications, project management, and quality assurance.

The program is open to all target countries. This does not apply to countries, regions, and organizations that are currently subject to an embargo or a suspension of cooperation.
The selection process primarily considers the quality of the network, existing and planned contacts and activities, and the coherence of the project. Projects that contribute to strengthening sustainable or strategically important partnerships and networks are particularly welcome. The project must be coordinated with the host institution in advance regarding its objectives and the planned program.
Please submit a grant application. This must include:
- Description of the project and expected outputs
- Description of previous contacts or preparatory work, potential for networking, and a plan for how the network will achieve visibility and sustainability
- Cost calculation
- Endorsement from your supervisor (not required for independent junior research group leaders and W1 professors)
In addition, an informal written confirmation from the host is required (e.g., an email).
Please remember to inform us of any changes and to coordinate any deviations from the proposed project with us in a timely manner.
Recipients agree to submit a brief report on their experience abroad within 6 weeks of the end of their stay. You will receive several guiding questions for this purpose. We kindly ask for prior coordination / prior consultation.
