Would you like to invite a leading researcher from abroad for a sabbatical? The award amount of the Humboldt Research Award is €60,000 and for the Bessel Research Awards it is €45,000. Award winners are also invited to conduct a research project of their choice at a research institution in Germany in cooperation with specialist colleagues there. Research stays are typically between six months and a full year in total, with the flexibility to split the stay into multiple visits. We also offer support for accompanying family members. The Humboldt Foundation particularly encourages the nomination of qualified female academics and of qualified individuals from other currently underrepresented groups.
If you would like to learn more about the award programmes of the Humboldt Foundation, come to our online event and get information on the programme and the application process from us directly.
