International Center for Scientific Research
The Alexander von Humboldt Foundation and the Fritz Thyssen Foundation enable post-doctoral researchers from Latin America (list of countries), especially in the fields of law, economics and social sciences, to carry out academic projects of their own choice in Germany. The research work in Germany is scheduled to last a total of six months. This should be divided up into two visits taking place between December 2009 and March 2010 and December 2010 and March 2011 respectively. Once a year during this period (end of January 2010 and end of January 2011), a joint meeting on interdisciplinary exchange will be held for all the fellows to facilitate academic and regional networking.
Applicants select their own academic research projects and their own hosts in Germany.
Preference will be given to applications proposing research in the following four areas (or research in neighbouring fields contributing significantly to one of those areas):
- Good governance and stable institutions
- Political liability and democratisation
- Development processes in Latin America and Europe: Progress and regress
- Interculturality and integration
