Germany - Helmholtz-DAAD Fellowships for Doctoral and Postdoctoral Students
General Principles
The special programme jointly run by the Helmholtz Association and the DAAD is intended for highly-qualified foreign doctoral and postdoctoral students. Helmholtz-DAAD Fellowships offer excellent young scientists and researchers from all around the world the opportunity to do research at a Helmholtz Centre in Germany.
The Helmholtz Association is Germany’s largest research organisation with an annual budget of around 2.2 billion euros and 24,000 staff concentrated in 15 research centres. The Helmholtz Association works on solving the grand challenges which face society, science and industry and concentrates on researching systems of great complexity in the following six research fields: Earth and Environment, Energy, Health, Key Technologies,Structure of Matter and Transport and Space.
Helmholtz-DAAD Fellows carry out research in one of these fields and use the outstanding scientific infrastructure which the Helmholtz Centres maintain.
Helmholtz-DAAD Fellowships are awarded just once a year. The respective offer will be published usually in September under “Current Offer” on the homepages of the DAAD and the Helmholtz-Association. Please note that the number and subjects of the fellowships in the Research Fields offered by the Helmholtz Centres might differ from call to call for application.
