Humboldt Foundation Fellowships and Awards

 

The Alexander von Humboldt Foundation grants research fellowships and research awards to highly qualified scholars and scientists of all nationalities not resident in Germany, enabling them to undertake periods of research in Germany, as well as research fellowships to highly qualified German scholars, enabling them to spend periods of research at the institutes of former Humboldt guest-researchers abroad.

 

Scholarship:

Monthly scholarship is 2100-3000 Euro. Researchers who get the scholarship for the first time are also allowed:

-         German language courses

-         Introduction meeting

-         Training

-         Scholarship

-         Participation in conferences and business trips

-         Renewal for the research scholarship

Application process:

Researchers of all nationalities and academic disciplines are eligible. There are no limitations about the country or academic discipline. There are about 500 scholarships per annum.  

Requirements:

1.      Doctorate or comparable academic degree (Ph.D., C.Sc. or equivalent) and/or research work over several years, proven in a convincing manner via publications in (internationally) recognised scientific journals; applications by academics approaching their doctorate degree are accepted on submission of their thesis.

2.      Proof of independent research work through recognised academic publications, preferably in international journals.

3.      Adequate language abilities: scholars in humanities must possess and provide proof of sound German language abilities; scholars in natural and engineering sciences must possess and provide proof of at least a good command of English (German or English language certificates are required).

4.      Age not over 40 years (key date: receipt of complete application); in well-founded cases - and if the age limit is only slightly exceeded - exceptions can be made to a limited extent, depending on the specific training situation in individual countries.

 

Applications for Humboldt Research Fellowships are accepted only if candidates fulfil the above requirements. However, you may be accorded sponsorship under the programmes offered by the DAAD (German Academic Exchange Service) or the DFG (German Research Society).
