Selection Meetings: February, June, October

The Alexander von Humboldt Foundation grants the Georg Forster Research Fellowship to researchers in all disciplines from developing and emerging countries (see list of countries, PDF) who have above-average qualifications.

With this fellowship the Humboldt Foundation acknowledges the important role of researchers from these countries in achieving the UN’s 17 sustainable development goals and thus provides them with sponsorship that is equivalent to the Humboldt Research Fellowship.

Postdocs are eligible to apply up to four years after completing their doctorates for a sponsorship period of 6–24 months. Experienced researchers can apply up to twelve years after completing their doctorates for a sponsorship period of 6–18 months. The duration of the fellowship may be divided up into a maximum of three visits, with each visit lasting at least three months.

The Selection Committee responsible for reviewing applications to this programme meets every February, June and October. The completed application form, including any additional documents required, should be sent well in advance of the desired selection date. Applications are usually processed within four to eight months.
