University of Freiburg

The Freiburg-Adelaide Partnership Fund supports joint academic-led projects focused on a shared research interest across the two themes to strengthen existing collaboration or initiate new ones. The funding supports research visits to the partner’s university, joint presentations, seminars and workshops, and activities involving graduate students, doctoral candidates and early-career researchers.

Adelaide University has an undergraduate and postgraduate student exchange program with Freiburg which enables students to undertake a semester (or year) abroad at Freiburg as part of their degree. The exchange offers students the opportunity to immerse themselves in a different academic environment, broaden their global perspective, and build international networks while gaining valuable overseas study experience. 

Germany is globally recognised for its scientific innovation and academic excellence. Through the Adelaide-Freiburg Joint PhD Program in medicine and biomedicine, students are immersed in a dynamic research environment at two globally respected institutions with access to specialist facilities and leading academics. Students benefit from diverse global perspectives and collaborative networks that enrich their research, expand career opportunities, and enable them to build an international research profile.

Joint research workshops provide a structured forum for researchers from Adelaide University and the University of Freiburg to connect, exchange ideas, and develop collaborative research agendas. Aligned to the partnership’s two themes, these workshops are designed to generate new joint projects, support the development of competitive funding proposals, and scale collaborative activity across both institutions.
