The fellowships are intended to support a new generation of academics. The program therefore applies only to persons, not to projects. The program is open to all disciplines, subjects and countries. Germans wishing to pursue a research stay abroad and foreign students intending to work in Germany in connection with their PhD may apply. Candidates may complete their entire PhD thesis in the host country if they so wish. The support provided by the Foundation is for a maximum period of 2 years.
