With the Humboldt Research Fellowships for experienced researchers, the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation enables academics from abroad with above-average qualifications who completed their doctorate no more than twelve years ago to undertake long-term research stays (6-18 months) in Germany.
The research project is carried out in cooperation with academic hosts at research institutions in Germany. Applicants choose their independent research project and their host organisations in Germany themselves. Details of the research project, including information on the planned duration of the fellowship and, if applicable, the division of the stays, must be agreed with the intended host before submitting the application. The scholarship can be flexibly divided into up to three stays within three years.
