For the 15th time this year, the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation is recognising innovative networking ideas abroad by granting the Humboldt Alumni Award. The award-winning initiatives are forging new paths for deepening academic and cultural ties between Germany and the individual alumni’s home country and strengthening alumni networks.
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.
Brief portraits of the Humboldtians selected to receive a Humboldt Alumni Award which comes with up to €30,000 for establishing networking initiatives are available here.
Alexander von Humboldt Foundation alumni who live abroad may submit applications for the 2025 Humboldt Alumni Award until 15 December 2024. The award is funded by the Federal Foreign Office.
