Alexander von Humboldt Foundation

About the organization

It promotes academic cooperation between excellent scientists and scholars from abroad and from Germany. Its research fellowships and research awards allow you to come to Germany to work on a research project you have chosen yourself together with a host and collaborative partner. If you are a scientist or scholar from Germany you can profit from our support and carry out a research project abroad as a guest of one of more than 29,000 Humboldt Foundation alumni worldwide - the Humboldtians. As an intermediary organisation for German foreign cultural and educational policy it promotes international cultural dialogue and academic exchange.
