The current application call for the International Climate Protection Fellowship of the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation starts on 7 December 2026. The programme is aimed at young leaders and postdoctoral researchers from non-European emerging and developing countries who wish to carry out a self-selected (research) project in cooperation with a host in Germany and spend up to 24 months in Germany.
Since this year, the application procedure has been changed to a call-based system. In future, calls will open several months before the respective selection meeting and close once the predefined number of applications has been reached.
In our online event, you will learn everything you need to know about the new call system, how to prepare your application, eligibility requirements, possible fields of research, the application process, and how to find a host in Germany.
If you would like to learn more about the International Climate Protection Fellowship, join our online event via Zoom to receive first-hand information about the programme and the application process. A current fellow will share her experiences, while the programme coordinators will answer your questions directly.
The event will be held in English. It is not necessary to register in advance.
