The University of Chicago and the University of Vienna aim to expand and strengthen their scientific collaboration. To accomplish this goal, the Chicago - Vienna International Grant Program has been set up. 

The grant program is designed to support University of Vienna and University of Chicago faculty to organize and implement joint projects (e.g. joint seminars or workshops). Eligible faculty members may apply for funding in an amount up to US$ 12,500.

Project proposals are strongly encouraged to have a public component, such as a talk or culminating event, to discuss avenues to build up joint research collaborations, to lead to a joint publication and/or to a joint submission to external funding agencies.

The joint projects 2024 may take place at the University of Chicago, the University of Vienna, or, for the first time, at the University of Chicago John W. Boyer Center in Paris.
