Fellowships

  • Philipp Schwartz Initiative of the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation

    In the 16th call for proposals of the , universities, universities of technology and universities of applied sciences, non-university research institutions and other scientific institutions in Germany can apply for funding to host researchers at risk. Scholars from non-EU countries exposed to significant and acute individual risks can be nominated (for admission requirements and proof of risk, see the programme documentation). Scholars must be nominated by institutions and cannot apply directly. Successful institutions will receive funds to grant the nominated scholar research stays by way of a research fellowship or employment contracts of up to 24 months. They will also receive a lump sum intended for measures to support Philipp Schwartz fellows in integrating and in re-starting their careers. An extension of up to 12 months can be granted in the framework of a co-financing model.
