The German Academies of Sciences and Humanities have a long tradition in the German research landscape. Academies are research facilities where long-term projects of basic research are carried out. They also provide guidance and advice to society and policymakers.

The Academies offer many interesting opportunities for international researchers:

Doctor looking at a radiograph.

Funding for Junior Researchers

Academies honour young, usually junior researchers with prizes and medals and also award scholarships. Such support can involve funding for a research project or a personal prize.

Senior Scientist in a laboratory.

Funding for Senior Researchers

The award of an academy prize is always a special honour for a renowned researcher. Personal application is usually not possible for these prizes.
