The Minerva Fellowship Programme (funded by the German Federal Ministry for Education and Research BMBF) enables Israeli and German scientists to complete a research residency at institutions in the respective other country.

Minerva Fellowships are not only intended to promote research but also to strengthen the cultural and scientific exchange between Germany and Israel. Younger scientists (graduates and postdocs) get the possibility to further their scientific background while they conduct a research project at their host institution in Israel or Germany.

Duration of the fellowship

• Doctoral fellowships are granted for a maximum of 24 months. Exceptionally and under special circumstances, there is the possibility of extending them up to 12 months.
• Post-doctoral fellowships are also granted for a maximum of 24 months.
