Description
These grants and scholarships aim to provide foreign academics and scientists working in higher education or at research institutes with an opportunity to carry out a research project at a state (public) or state-recognised higher education institution or non-university research institute in Germany.
Eligibility
Applicants must meet the following requirements:
- Applications for DAAD research stays are open to excellently-qualified academics and scientists who should generally hold a doctorate/PhD. All applicants must be working in higher education or at a research institute in their home country.
- Besides their previous academic achievements (for example, recent publications), the most important selection criterion is a convincing and well-planned research project to be completed during the stay in Germany. This must have been coordinated and agreed with a research collaboration partner at the chosen host institute in Germany. Written confirmation of the research cooperation, including express reference to the applicant's project, must be included with the application papers.
- The application must provide proof of a workplace being provided at the host institute.
- DAAD support for a research stay can only be awarded once in any three-year period.
- Former fellows of the Alexander von Humboldt-Foundation are requested to contact the Humboldt-Foundation first.
Duration
Depending on the applicant's work schedule, the research stay will last between one and three months.
You are normally required to take an English Proficiency Test if you come from a non-English speaking country.
Most European Universities recognise the IELTS test. More information
Benefits
Depending on the applicant's academic status, the monthly award will amount to 1,840 euros for assistant lecturers, assistant professors and young lecturers, and 1,990 euros for professors, in exceptions, 2,240 euros.
In addition to these payments, the DAAD generally will pay an appropriate flat-rate travel allowance, unless these costs are covered by the home country or by another funding source.
