Requirements

Nominations for a Georg Forster Research Award may be initiated by established researchers at research institutions in Germany.

Humboldt Foundation award winners working abroad are also eligible to submit nominations jointly with a researcher working in Germany.

Nomination Procedure

Eligible for nomination are researchers whose fundamental discoveries, new theories or findings have had a lasting effect on their discipline beyond their immediate research area and who will continue to contribute to developing research-based approaches to the specific challenges of developing and emerging countries. The individual nominated must additionally meet the following criteria:

The nominee’s academic achievements must be internationally recognised and proven by corresponding successes in research.

The nominee may not previously have received an award from the Humboldt Foundation for her/his academic work.

The nominee must be a citizen of a developing or transition country

The award amount is €60,000. Award winners are also invited to conduct a research project of their choice at a research institution in Germany in cooperation with specialist colleagues there.

The award enables a total stay of between six months and a full year, which can be split into multiple stays.
