Roman Herzog Research Fellowship
The Alexander von Humboldt Foundation (AvH) and the non-profit Hertie
Foundation (GHS) in Frankfurt-on-Main enable young highly qualified
scholars with outstanding leadership qualities in research and teaching
from central and south-east Europe (including the Baltic States) to carry
out research projects of their own choice in Germany (age limit: 35 years)

Roman Herzog Research Fellowships - Application
Applications may be submitted for long-term research stays of between 6
and 12 months; short-term study tours or participation in conferences
cannot be founded.

Research fellowships are offered on a regional competitive basis. Scholars
from the following states may apply:

   Albania
   Bosnia-Herzegovina
   Bulgaria

   Slovenia
   the Slovak Republic
   the Czech Republic

There are no quotas in respect of either country or academic discipline.

Applications from the fields of law, economics and social sciences are
particularly welcome since fellowships shall contribute to the further
development of scientific policy in the home country.
12 research fellowships are available per annum.

Assessment and decisions are based primarily on the quality and
feasibility of research projects proposed by candidates as well as their
(international)  publications (including doctoral thesis).

Details of research projects and schedules must be agreed between
applicants and proposed hosts prior to submission of applications.
