The Einstein Fellowship 2019
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 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.
Topics span from the arts and humanities, natural and social sciences, to ethics and politics. Whatever the subject, speakers are urged to think outside traditional academic boundaries.
The multidisciplinary emphasis encourages dialogue not only among experts from different fields but also, and just as importantly, between specialists and the public at large.
Why apply?
The fellow will receive:
- a living accommodation for 5-6 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.
- a stipend of EUR 10,000
- a reimbursement of travel expenses
Who should apply?
- A successful applicant must demonstrate the quality, originality, and feasibility of the proposed project, as well as the superior intellectual development.
- The applicant does not need to hold a PhD or pursue one.
- Please note that no fellowships will be given for dissertation research.
- The proposed project must be significantly different in content and preferably filed and formed from the applicant’s previous work.
- German and international applicants are eligible for the fellowship.
