Study Foundation of the Berlin House of
Representatives
The Study Foundation of the Berlin House of
Representatives was
established by the Parliament of Berlin in 1994 as a
sign of gratitude
to the Allied Forces who occupied, befriended, and
protected Berlin and
its citizens for almost fifty years after the end of
World War Two.
Because of the impending loss of social and cultural
contact that would
inevitably occur after the withdrawal of the Allies,
the
representatives of Berlin created the Study Foundation
to sustain and
develop contact with France, Great Britain, the United
States, Russia
and other successor states of former Soviet Union.
The Study Foundation is a grant programme for young
academics who
desire either to work on Berlin along with
German/international issues
or to use the foundationīs research facilities. Main
target groups
include the humanities and the social sciences, but it
is open to other
disciplines as well. The grants shall be awarded to
applicants who
clearly demonstrate above-average academic
qualifications.
Presently, the Study Foundation is awarding
twelve-month grants to
students twenty years and older with a stipend in the
amount of 770
Euro for pre-doctoral students and 1300 Euro for
post-doctoral
students. In addition, the foundation shall assume
round-trip travel
costs as well as rental costs while living at the
International Study
Centre in Berlin.
During their twelve month stay in Berlin, grant
winners will not only
be offered the opportunity to experience their
disciplines from an
international perspective, but they will also be
encouraged to learn
more about the people and culture of Berlin.
Grant guidelines are available at the following
internet address:

The deadline for applications is December 15 of each
year.
