The Alexander von Humboldt Foundation and Hertie Foundation announce
Roman Herzog Research Fellowship
Application Deadline: on-going
The fellowship will enable young highly qualified scholars with outstanding leadership qualities in research and teaching from central and south-east Europe (including the Baltic States) to carry out research projects of their own choice in Germany (age limit: 35 years). Applications may be submitted for long-term research stays of between 6 and 12 months; short-term study tours or participation in conferences cannot be founded. Research fellowships are offered on a regional competitive basis. Applications from the fields of law, economics and social sciences are particularly welcome since fellowships shall contribute to the further development of scientific policy in the home country. 12 research fellowships are available per annum. Assessment and decisions are based primarily on the quality and feasibility of research projects proposed by candidates as well as their (international) publications (including doctoral thesis). Thanks to special funds made available by the Federal Foreign Office within the framework of the Stability Pact for Southeastern Europe, the Humboldt Foundation is able to offer increased sponsorship to scholars from former Yugoslavia and the neighbouring countries Albania, Bulgaria and Romania.
