The Alexander von Humboldt Foundation's Henriette Herz Scouting Programme is aimed in two programme lines at 1.) rising academics who have only recently taken on a (junior) professorship or group leadership and 2.) established researchers. Applications from individuals who do not yet have any connections to the Humboldt Foundation are particularly welcome. As selected scouts, you have the opportunity to independently identify up to three junior researchers abroad and propose them to join your team for an Alexander von Humboldt Foundation fellowship. www.humboldt-foundation.de/bewerben/foerderprogramme/henriette-herz-scouting-programm

 

The Klaus Tschira Boost Fund enables scientists (in the early stages of their careers) in the natural sciences, mathematics and computer science to acquire additional project and personnel funding.

The idea behind the funding is:

• Flexible application for funding to create scope for own, riskier as well as interdisciplinary projects,
• support for the establishment of (international) cooperations and networks,
• Targeted support and advice for professional and personal development.

 

The

Hanse Wissenschaftskolleg Delmenhorst

- Institute for Advanced Study regularly announces fellowships for postdocs. The aim of this non-material or financial support is to promote (scientific) careers through the opportunity to network or to develop one's own network.

Within the framework of the call for proposals, up to 20 fellowships for interdisciplinary research will be awarded to doctoral students and postdocs. The fellows will be funded with up to 12,000 euros over a period of two years. The funding is intended to enable research stays, conference visits and the purchase of equipment. Further information can be found on the pages of the Joachim Herz Foundation.

The Boehringer Ingelheim Foundation supports junior research group leaders in the fields of medicine, biology and chemistry to further develop their independent research profile and to become eligible for appointment. Application deadlines: 15 March and 15 September of each year.

Every year, the Daimler and Benz Foundation awards ten scholarships to postdocs, junior professors or heads of young research groups. Further information can be found on the Daimler and Benz Foundation website.

Ambitious young German medical researchers can apply to the Freundlich Foundation on their own initiative to apply flexibly and unbureaucratically for funding for travel grants, research stays abroad and publications. In urgent cases, the Foundation responds extremely quickly to these requests.

The "Lower Saxony - Scotland Tandem Fellowship Programme" enables doctoral students and postdocs to conduct joint research at universities in Lower Saxony and Scotland.
