Fritz Thyssen Foundation: Research Fellowships
|
Programme Description The Fritz Thyssen Foundation was set up in 1959 for the purpose of promoting the sciences at universities and research institutions mainly in Germany, with particular emphasis on young scientists. For this reason the foundation sponsors approximately 25 young scientists from all over the world for one year. Applicants’ country of origin and area of specialisation are irrelevant for awarding the fellowships. The scholarship is composed of a basic sum and fringe benefits. The basic amount is 1,700.00 EUR per month regardless of age. |

Target Group The foundation’s fellowships are reserved for young doctorate holders who will generally have completed their doctorates no more than one or two years ago. Doctorate and professorial scholarships will not be awarded. Academic Requirements Doctorate Number of Scholarships Approx. 25 Duration One year Scholarship Value The scholarship consists of a basic sum and fringe benefits. The basic amount is 1,700.00 EUR per month regardless of age. Own income of up to 500.00 EUR from an academic sideline job will not be considered in fixing the basic amount. A different basic amount may be fixed in exceptional cases. A 100.00 EUR flat-rate sum can be paid to cover material and travel expenses (e.g. for books, information-gathering trips to other work groups) directly related to the academic work. Special and essential expenditures above this level (e.g. high course fees) can only be considered after prior application. A bonus for travel costs to the place of academic work may be paid up to the level of the actual costs, which in principle should not exceed second-class train and economy-class air fares. Price reductions should be exploited wherever possible. In bona fide cases of continuing obligations (e.g. when the scholarship holder is not accompanied to his academic workplace by his/her family), a commensurate subsidy towards these obligations (e.g. rent) of up to about 200.00 EUR per month can be paid upon application. In principle, no consideration can be given to saving schemes (e.g. life insurance or savings bank). Upon application, academics will receive a child care bonus for children no older than 12 years. Partial scholarships (at least 50%) can be granted to enable the holder to care for his or her children along with his or her academic work. The term of the scholarship is then extended accordingly. Application Requirements A completed doctorate is one of the requirements. Furthermore, the fellowship is to be connected to an independent scientific project based on the applicant’s own initiative and carried out a university or non-profit research institution for the purpose of further education. The grant is paid subject to proof of adequate health insurance cover. Application Papers Application form (can be found on the website) Tabular curriculum vitae Extensive description of intended research project (problem, status of research, own prior work, intended procedure, methods, schedule, staff, publications on the topic) Confirmation of the possibility of working at the intended research institution If applicable, cost plan for intended visit abroad or similar Application Deadline Fellowship applications can be submitted to the foundation at any time. Processing time is generally six to eight weeks. |
