Short Stays for German Specialist Colleagues at Humboldtians' Institutes Abroad

Research fellows and their academic hosts or collaboration partners in Germany can apply for a subsidy to sponsor guest visits by academics from Germany to the research fellow's institute abroad. The guest visit should be used for lectures and academic contacts at the research fellow's institute and possibly at other institutes in the country. Priority will be given to journeys undertaken by academic hosts or collaboration partners from Germany to countries with limited foreign currency reserves. The subsidy is intended to cover or partially cover the travel expenses incurred by the academic from Germany. The Humboldt Foundation expects the institute visited to bear the costs of the stay locally.

Applications should include the following documents:

• informal application by the research fellow or the academic from Germany giving details of the schedule, contents, and objective of the journey;
• estimate of expected travel expenses;
• invitation from the research fellow abroad.
