Research Grant: Georg Forster Research Grant for Researchers from Emerging and Developing Countries
The Georg Forster Research Fellowship supports postdocs as well as experienced scientists – in your research projects in Germany. With the Georg Forster Research Fellowship, the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation supports above-average qualified researchers from all disciplines from developing and emerging countries – except PR China and India. As a scholarship holder, you can benefit from the individual support provided by the Humboldt Foundation and our diverse support services.
Postdocs: The monthly grant is 2,670 euros. It can be applied for a period between 6 and 24 months.
Experienced scientists: The monthly grant is 3,170 euros. It can be applied for a period of between 6 and 18 months and can be divided into up to three stays within three years.
Framework: In addition to the amount of the scholarship, you will also receive personal support during your funding period. You – and your spouse too – can attend an intensive language course in advance of your research scholarship. Further financial support – family allowances for children and spouses, travel allowances, etc. – is possible.
Alumni programs: With our alumni funding measures, we flexibly support the individual life paths and careers of all Humboldtians and their collaborations with one another. A return scholarship or future stays in Germany are also conceivable.
