Philipp Schwartz Initiative: New Call to support threatened researchers

Starting today, universities, universities of applied sciences and other research institutions in Germany can apply for funding from the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation to support threatened researchers in the Philipp Schwartz Initiative’s 10th call for nominations. Scholars from non-EU countries exposed to significant and acute individual risks can be nominated. Scholars must be nominated by institutions and cannot apply directly. Successful institutions will receive funds to grant the nominated scholar research stays by way of a research fellowship or employment contracts of up to 24 months. They will also receive a lump sum intended for measures to support Philipp Schwartz fellows in integrating and in re-starting their careers. An extension of up to 12 months can be granted in the framework of a co-financing model. Please find the updated programme documents and further information on the website of the Philipp Schwartz Initiative. The deadline for nominations is 10 September 2021.
