The University of Konstanz aims to promote the abilities of exceptional international youth researchers and to provide assistance to their educational journey to pursue their higher education in Germany for the academic year of 2023-2024, the University offers the ZukunftskollegHerz Fellowships.

The ZukunftskollegHerz Fellowships will award young researchers in Latin America, Asia, and Africa who undertake their postdoctoral degree studies in Germany and will be admitted at the University of Konstanz. The students must have completed their studies outside the country of Germany to be able to be considered for the fellowship. The fellowship award is one of the prestigious awards offered by the university which also covers the student’s stipends amounting to up to €2,000, roundtrip airfare tickets and accommodation, and more related educational awards to further their Ph.D. degree in Germany.

In 2020, the University of Konstanz won the Henriette Herz Award sent off by the Alexander-von-Humboldt-Stiftung to advance the dynamic enlistment of brilliant worldwide early profession researchers and back their integrations into the German and worldwide academic local area.

The Zukunftskolleg Liason Boards will be qualified for name competitors. To effectively distinguish the best applicants from all disciplines, all professors of the University of Konstanz, forthcoming Humboldt Scouts, Konstanz graduated class diplomats, and accomplices in Africa, Asia, and Latin America are urged to make ideas for the Internal Liason Board. Recommendations from outside researchers should connect up with a nearby host (an employee from one of the divisions of the University of Konstanz who works in a comparative research field) that can go about as a coach during the nearby research stay.
