Scholarship details
This fellowship programme is meant to invite outstanding scholars from any field of study to spend a short length of time (up to twelve days) conducting research at the University of Bonn. Scholars from universities that are key partners and universities located in countries that are priorities for international engagement will be given preference.
The goal is to integrate the fellows as deeply as possible into the academic life of Bonn and to bring them to the attention of the general public (or at the very least, the scholarly public). In addition to that, the recipients and candidates of these fellowships are meant to be given new opportunities to work together on joint projects in the future.
