Awarded by the Einstein Forum and the Daimler and Benz Foundation
The
Einstein Forum and the Daimler and Benz Foundation are offering a
fellowship for outstanding young thinkers who wish to pursue a project
in a different field from that of their previous research. The purpose
of the fellow- ship 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 fellowship includes living accommodations for five to six months in the garden cottage of Einstein`s own summerhouse in Caputh, Brandenburg, only a short distance away from the universities and academic institutions of Potsdam and Berlin. The fellow will receive a stipend of EUR 10,000 and reimbursement of travel expenses.
Candidates must be under 35 and hold a university degree in the humanities, in the social sciences, or in the natural sciences.
