Title: Einstein Fellowship
Funding agency: Einstein Forum, DE
Award am ount: €10,000
Application deadline: May 15, 2023
Full announcement here
The Einstein Forum and the Wittenstein Foundation offer 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 fellowship 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.
At the end of the fellowship period, the fellow will be expected to present his or her project in a public lecture at the Einstein Forum and at the Wittenstein Foundation. The Einstein Fellowship is not intended for applicants who wish to complete an academic study they have already begun.
Candidates must be under 35 and hold a university degree in the humanities, in the social sciences, or in the natural sciences.
