The Alexander von Humboldt Foundation promotes academic cooperation between excellent scientists and scholars from abroad and from Germany.

Its research fellowships and 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 the foundation’s support and carry out a research project abroad as a guest of one of more than 28,000 Humboldt Foundation alumni worldwide - the Humboldtians.

As an intermediary organisation for German foreign cultural and educational policy the foundation promotes international cultural dialogue and academic exchange.
