Einstein Fellowship for International Applicants in Germany, 2020

The Einstein Forum and the Daimler and Benz Foundation are offering the fellowship for outstanding young thinkers who wish to pursue a project in a different field from that of their previous research. The fellowship is open for the candidates who must be under 35 and hold a university degree in the humanities, in the social sciences, or in the natural sciences.

The purpose of the fellowship is to support those who, in addition to producing superb work in their area of specialization, are also open to other, interdisciplinary approaches – following the example set by Albert Einstein.

The Einstein Forum is a foundation of the German federal state of Brandenburg that serves the public as an open laboratory of the mind.
