Application deadline: 15 October 2007
Objective
Short-term research grants provide young foreign academics and scientists with an opportunity to carry out a research project or continuing education and training at a German higher education institution or non-university research institute, but without aiming for a formal degree/qualification.
Duration
Depending on the applicant’s work schedule, the research stay will last between one and six months.
Requirements
- Applications for DAAD research grants are open to excellently-qualified young academics and scientists who hold a Master’s degree and have been enrolled in a doctoral program at the Indonesian university at the time they commence the grant.
- The application papers must generally include written confirmation of academic supervision by a professor in Germany and explicitly refer to the applicant’s project, thereby confirming that the host institute will provide a workplace.
- Besides previous study achievements, the most important selection criterion is a convincing and well-planned research or continuing education and training project to be completed during the stay in Germany and which has been coordinated and agreed with an academic supervisor at the chosen German host institute.
- German language skills are generally required, although the required level also depends on the applicant’s project and topic, as well as on the available opportunities for learning German in the applicant’s home country. In the natural sciences and in engineering disciplines, in particular, and when English is spoken at the host institute, proof of good English language skills may also be accepted.
- The award of DAAD research grants for doctoral candidates and young academics and scientists is subject to an age limit for applicants of 32.
- Applicants who have already been in Germany for more than two years when the research grant begins cannot be considered.
