This program funds travel expenses and experimental expenses for collaboration projects on Experimental Pragmatics between XPrag.de researchers and a German or an international partner for a duration up to 24 months. Teams include at least one researcher from XPrag.de and one from an external project (associated projects are considered to be external, here). The progress of collaboration will be presented at the annual meetings.
