Joachim Herz Foundation Add-on Fellowships for Interdisciplinary Science and Transfer (Application phase: 17 March through 16 May)
The Joachim Herz Foundation supports up to 80 scientists from the fields of engineering, economics and life sciences who are working on innovative, interdisciplinary research projects and are motivated to further develop the transfer potential of their research. With the Fellowship, researchers receive financial and non-material support and are part of a network of young, committed scientists. It is important that the projects already show transfer potential, even if concrete transfer goals are not yet or only slightly developed. The focus is on the thematic priority “Resources of the future," with support in particular of interdisciplinary approaches that contribute to making economic and technological resources more sustainable and efficient to use. This can include, for example, research into economic processes or new materials. Eligibility The funding is aimed at excellent researchers in the early stages of their careers - including doctoral students, postdocs and junior professors. In addition, researchers must be employed at a university or non-profit research institution in Germany at the time of application or their research must be otherwise funded there. Funding Fellows receive funding of up to 15,000 euros for two years. The funding can be used flexibly. For example for:
