The fully funded Humboldt Research Fellowship 2023 is a fully funded scholarship for international students who are interested in doing their post doctoral studies. This fellowship includes a monthly fellowship of 3,150 EUR and more financial assistance for accompanying family members and items.

The Alexander von Humboldt Foundation encourages very qualified scientists and scholars abroad who are just launching their academic careers and who completed their doctorates less than four years ago to spend extended periods of research (6–24 months) in Germany.

The research outline is enforced in cooperation with academic hosts at research institutions in Germany. Applicants choose their own topic of research and their host in Germany.

Details of the research outline including information on the intended period of the fellowship must be decided with the intended host before applying. Short-term visits for study and training purposes or for attending conferences are not eligible for sponsorship.
