Participation in international R and D projects and programs is of great importance for German R and D institutions. This is underlined by a lot of past and present R and D activities. These activities are embedded in the non-site specific research work funded by the Ministry of Economics and Technology (BMWi) which is the responsible ministry. The paper will focus on this R and D work. The paper addresses briefly the present status of the nuclear waste management policy in Germany, the responsibilities, and objectives of R and D related to High-Level Waste (HLW) disposal. International collaboration in projects conducted in foreign underground research laboratories (URL) and disposal programs as well as activities within the 6. Framework Program of the European Commission (EC) are described. (authors)
