Volkswagen Foundation is delighted to offer the fellowship for an international researcher in all discipline. Ten to fifteen fellowship for researcher will be granted every year. The Freigeist financing activity gives a chance to extraordinarily qualified, imaginative and autonomous early profession scientists to direct their own particular research.

The primary concentrate is on junior scientists (up to 4 years of postdoctoral experience) working at the fringes of neighboring fields or teaches. The ‘Freigeist’ activity offers flexibility for inventive reasoning, while in the meantime giving security to no less than 5 years and over the long haul the chance to set up a profession inside a logical research association or college in Germany.

Ten to fifteen fellowship will be granted every year. The initial funding period is five years; contingent upon the field of research and profession encounter extends in an aggregate sum of up to 1,000,000 Euro.

  • Their doctorate has probably been acquired not longer than five years beforehand (with respect to the date of the safeguard with respect to the due date of the activity).
  • The Fellowship must from the beginning be incorporated into a college or an additional wall painting research establishment in Germany.

  • A formerly finished research visit abroad, at the most recent coordinated into the proposed research project.
