On the Costa Rican side, researchers being eligible at CONARE and its programmes have to submit a proposal to CONARE, in parallel, according to Fondo del Sistema guidelines specific for Max Planck and DFG projects.
For approved joint initiation proposals costs of the German side will be funded exclusively by DFG and all costs of the Costa Rican side will be funded exclusively by CONARE. Therefore, DFG will not fund costs of the Costa Rican side and CONARE will not fund costs of the German side.
Funding will be granted for those proposals where both, DFG and CONARE, recommend funding.
