More about the Humboldt Alumni Award

The following initiatives have been singled out for an award: A mentoring network for female researchers in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) launched by Georg Forster Research Fellow Rosemary Tonjock; a network established by Humboldt Research Fellow Margarita Valdovinos Alba that brings female researchers in the humanities and social sciences field from Latin America and Germany together; and an initiative developed by Humboldt Research Fellow Jewellord Tolentino Nem Singh which focuses on supply chains involving critical raw materials and analyses strategies and balances of power that are different from region to region.
