Announcement follows
 A period of study or traineeship at a foreign research institution is likely to represent an important milestone in the career of a young scientist. With its fellowship program the foundation offers both German and foreign PhD students the chance to get acquainted with a different scientific system and to pave the way, through successful scientific cooperation, for long-lasting relationships.
To promote the research efforts of German PhD students abroad as well as of foreign PhD students at German research institutions the foundation awards fellowships. The program is open to all disciplines, topics and countries. Applicants are required to provide their own research project and to be affiliated to some scientific institution in the host country. The work conditions have to be clarified with the hosting institution before applying for the fellowship.
On the basis of the written applications a first selection is made. The selected applicants are invited to a seminar in Ladenburg, where they present their research projects to experts and other applicants. This presentation does not serve the purpose of reaching a final decision on the eligibility of the proposed research projects; it also offers all the participants a chance to meet and to discuss content aspects of their respective projects.
The written documentations and the presentation are the major criteria for the final decisions.
The fellowships are meant to promote young scientists; only individuals - and not projects - can apply for them.
Eligible are German students who are going to stay abroad in the context of their PhD research, as well as foreign students who are intending to do research for their PhD thesis at German institutions.
The majority of fellowship holders go abroad.
The age limit is 30. Candidates should have graduated (Diplom or Master degree) within the last year before the application.
Candidates who have studied predominantly abroad cannot apply. Pure fieldwork, visits of archives, pursuit of postdoctoral qualification, of Diplom or Master's theses, courses of further studies as well as university courses abroad and internships are all not eligible for the foundation's Fellowship Program. PhD theses in medicine will only be supported if the candidate is able to prove extensive experimental expertise.
The fellowship is designed to cover the living costs in the host country. The Foundation does not cover tuition fees, funds for materials and supporting staff, costs for stays in the home country or outside of the host institution or travel costs within the research project.
The Fellowship Program currently pays the following stipends:
Euro 970 for foreign applicants doing their PhD degree in Germany
Euro 1025-1300 for German applicants doing their PhD in other European countries (depending on the cost of living in the host country)
Euro 1300 for German applicants doing their PhD in USA
The rates for the other countries depend on the respective costs of living.
In addition, German postgraduates receive a lump sum for books, materials and travel costs to the host country of 160 Euro (European countries) and 510 Euro (overseas) respectively. If necessary, the Foundation can provide support for a German language course for foreign fellowship holders. Partial financing (up to 50%) can be requested from the Foundation up to twice a year for the participation in conferences, if the fellowship holder is presenting a paper. Furthermore travel allowances will be provided for the participation in events organised by the Foundation and in the annual fellowship holder meeting.
The duration of stipends may vary according to the requirements of the research projects; it will not exceed two years of support, however.
