The Humboldt Research Fellowship enables researchers at different career stages to pursue independent research in collaboration with a host institution in Germany. The program’s core mission is to foster international academic partnerships, promote scientific innovation, and support knowledge exchange across global and disciplinary boundaries.

The fellowship not only funds research but also opens avenues for scholars to immerse themselves in Germany’s rich scientific culture. Researchers are encouraged to develop long-term collaborations that transcend borders, promoting sustainable academic and cultural linkages.

2. Experienced Researchers
   1. Must have completed their Ph.D. within the past twelve years.
   2. A significant track record of publications in which internationally recognized journals is required.
