Bavarian Research Alliance (BayFOR)

BayFOR is a non-profit state-funded R&I facilitator promoting the interests of Bavarian stakeholders within the European Research Area. On behalf of its partners BayFOR represents the research interests of 30 state universities in Bavaria, Germany. Our Social Sciences, Humanities and Security Research Unit informs, advises and supports Bavarian scholars, companies and practitioners in obtaining European funding for R&I projects. We can establish first contact and broker your project with suitable consortium partners from the Bavarian region, i.e. university researchers, scientists, SMEs and public entities. In addition to networking, we offer tailored administrative and scientific support in the application process to increase your chances of receiving funding. Most of our services are free of charge (key prerequisite: your consortium should include at least one Bavarian beneficiary).
