Call for Applications: Alfried Krupp Fellowships 2025/26

 Deadline Date: August 31, 2024

 Donor Name: Alfried Krupp Wissenschaftskolleg Greifswald

 Grant Size: Not Available

The Alfried Krupp Wissenschaftskolleg Greifswald is awarding up to six Alfried Krupp Senior Fellowships and up to eight Alfried Krupp Junior Fellowships for the academic year 2025/26.

The Alfried Krupp Fellows Program, which is at the heart of the Kolleg’s work, was established in 2007 and has since been carried out with the generous support of the Alfried Krupp von Bohlen und Halbach Foundation. It enables the fellows to concentrate on a major scientific project independently of teaching commitments and administrative tasks.

Outstanding academic personalities with a proven track record in research and teaching can apply for an Alfried Krupp Senior Fellowship. The Alfried Krupp Junior Fellowships are awarded to particularly qualified young researchers with a doctorate. Fellows are appointed for one semester (October 1 to March 31 or April 1 to September 30) or for one academic year (October 1 to September 30). Living and working space is available to the fellows at the Alfried Krupp Wissenschaftskolleg free of charge. The fellowships are remunerated according to the high expectations of the fellows’ academic achievements. Applicants for a Senior Fellowship are encouraged to combine a research semester at their home university with a research stay at the Alfried Krupp Wissenschaftskolleg. The Alfried Krupp Wissenschaftskolleg supports applicants who wish to take up their fellowship in the company of a partner and/or children. 

Topics

• In the academic year 2025/26, the Alfried Krupp Wissenschaftskolleg Greifswald will also focus on the following interdisciplinary topics:
  • Interrelationships between animal, human and environmental health.
  • Cultural, social, political and economic change in the Baltic Sea region.

Cost Covered

• The fellowships are endowed according to the high expectations of the applicants’ scientific achievements. All fellows are also provided with an apartment and a workroom at the Alfried Krupp Wissenschaftskolleg free of charge. Additional insurance benefits as well as travel and laboratory costs are not covered by the Kolleg. 

Expectations

• The Alfried Krupp Fellows are expected to pursue a major research project during their stay and, if possible, complete it. Fellows are also expected to live at the Kolleg and establish their centre of life here. The Alfried Krupp Wissenschaftskolleg welcomes it if Fellows offer courses for students at the University of Greifswald during their stay at the Kolleg. It is expected that the application will demonstrate how the planned project will strengthen the University of Greifswald’s research priorities and make a significant contribution to the promotion of science and research in Greifswald as an academic centre.
