Alexander von Humboldt Foundation

"We promote academic cooperation between excellent scientists and scholars from abroad and from Germany.

• Our research fellowships and research awards allow you to come to Germany to work on a research project you have chosen yourself together with a host and collaborative partner.

• If you are a scientist or scholar from Germany you can profit from our support and carry out a research project abroad as a guest of one of more than 26,000 Humboldt Foundation alumni worldwide - the Humboldtians.

• As an intermediary organisation for German foreign cultural and educational policy we promote international cultural dialogue and academic exchange."
